Moto Guzzi Stelvio...talk me down.
Holy hell, just test drove a 2024 Moto Guzzi Stelvio. It's their new liquid cooled bike. Really, really want. Handling is great, makes plenty of power, and it makes it like a Guzzi. Expensive for sure, nearly $19k out the door. I think I'm in love.

I mean, you've got three already (based on your sig). Why stop there? Though for 19K, how often are you going to use it?
I don't ride, but my friends that do, say the sport bike becomes less appealing as they get older, so you may have to sell the Ducati. (I don't know how old you are.) |

Not getting talked down from me. I get it. I really like what Moto Guzzi is doing. I was looking at the Moto Guzzi V100.
I say go for it!

Looks awesome. That MC segment has lots of competition, especially at your price point, BMW GS, Ducati Multistrada, KTM Super Adventure, Triumph, heck even Harley Davidson. I would at least try to a ride a few from above before making your decision. Have fun!

Moto Guzzis are cool. I'm looking at a 2008 1200 Sport.
If you are looking to get talked out of your passion, then you came to the wrong place. I agree with the other guys.

Oh but also, I am currently getting rid of a 2012 BMW R1200 GSA. Great bike, but it's just too big for me. Intimidating. I'm 5'8" on a good day and around 155# with probably a 29 inch inseam. The GSA has a special extra low seat, and I can still barely touch the ground with the tips of my boots. As it turns out, a 1200cc touring dirt bike is just not for me.

You should ask Baz for advice, I'm sure he will tell you to exercise caution.
 Just watched a review, an important point being made that even as a thoroughly modern bike, it still has "moto guzziness" so you would be a fool not to get it. It does look fanstastic!
