Robin Davies
Just got it firing!
Hello. My name is Rob, and I've been biking 30 odd years. I've recently been looking for a new bike and have now focused on the Stelvio.
I have read as much as I can here and elsewhere on the net and would like to ask some straightforward questions. ..In the hope that you can point me in the right direction.
I understand that these bikes may need some love and attention. I am pretty useful in the spannering and electrical departments. The major concern seems to be self destructing cams.
I would like, but can't really justify or afford a new bike. I can live with the smaller tank. Low mileage 08-11 bikes can be found from £5-6 k in the UK. Is one model better than another?. If so what model/year/ engine number should I look for. I would like to get 40 mpg (UK) minimum if possible...do I need to tune or upgrade for this. Any other thing that I need to be aware of with this bike?
Many thanks in advance
Rob
