2011 Moto Guzzi Stelvio 1200 and Norge GT 8V - Moto Guzzi Street Bike First Look - Motorcycle USA

2011 Moto Guzzi Stelvio 1200 and Norge GT 8V - Moto Guzzi Street Bike First Look - Motorcycle USA: "lends more long-range credence to its big adventure bike, the 2011 Stelvio, by bumping up its fuel cell to a massive 8.4 gallons and equipping it with a bigger windscreen. Stylistically, it continues to feature a dual front headlight assembly, but the 2011 Stelvio’s top fairing, windshield and half-fairing with integrated turn signals are all-new in an attempt to give the styling a more aggressive nature. The Stelvio’s larger fuel cell is incorporated into the lightweight fairing and its lines have been rounded off. Comfort is also a premium for motorcycles where riders will be spending long stretches in the saddle. Moto Guzzi addresses this in the 2011 Stelvio 1200 with a re-shaped seata and new saddle lining. The 2011 Moto Guzzi Stelvio’s cockpit has also been revamped with new graphs for its on-board control panel and a larger fuel indicator."
