Wonderful bike: very fast & powerful, very smooth, beautiful (at least in my eyes), large range (with its 32 liter tank!!) and overall good quality build. Main con (and reason for selling it 3 years ago and swapping it for the CB1100) was its weight: a hefty 660 lbs = 300 kg wet. It was also BIG and (with a full tank) top heavy, resulting in a few scary moments when stopping on uneven ground. All in all, it often felt like the Stelvio was in charge and was taking ME for a ride, instead of the other way. So I sold it and am now very happy with my sweet & gentle CB1100. I forgot to mention that it had wonderful high-quality suspension and hands-down the most comfortable stock seat I have ever sat on. You could sit behind that tall windscreen for hours and just soak it all up. Hmmm.. I miss that bike.
