Tuned and Synch'ed
I tryed to post this before but nothing happened so I must have made a mistake. However, again --
I'm 78 years of age, a shrinking 5'11" and in reasonable health. The majority of my riding is long distance touring, camping trips and cycle rallies -- 12-15K miles/year -- most of it in the Mid-Western States. My current ride is an '09 Wee-Strom ABS that I load like a pack-mule for my trips.
Sometime in my life (ie, my "riding life") I want to own and ride a Guzzi.
My questions: Is the next generation Stelvio -- the one with the larger fuel tank, cast rims, ABS, improved fuel mapping and all those other extras -- a suitable replacement for my Wee? {BTW, you don't have to go into the difference is engine size/power. The 650cc Wee has been more than adequate to meet my riding needs.} I'm most interested in the reliability/durability of the Stelvio -- is it going to leave me stranded by the side of the road somewhere?
Thanks for your considered opinions.
