But when they do, they do it right.

Anyone know what the official colors for the 2015 NTX models will be?  We are well into 2015 but not many of these have been shipped.

Time to get my Norge painted that blue, then it will color match all of my blue cars!  :)  It's a lovely blue indeed!

Is it a floor model or sold?

Oh oh.

If the Norge 8v shows up in that, I may not be able to put Satan behind me.   ;)

In fact, if I even hear that's probable, the color's close enough that I'll starting working on getting some Carabinieri decals.   :D P:)

 I love that blue! (Blue is my favorite color.) I, too, may need to have my white Norge repainted...

Why do the Carabinieri always hang around in threes? Well you need one that can read, one that can write and one to keep an eye on the two intellectuals! This picture provides proof.

Larry,

Will look for a cruising blue Guzzi in Houston from now on.

Tell Mike to get his nose out of the tank. 

Very impressive!  Thanks!

Second blue Stelvis, a floor model, coming out of the crate now

Those beautiful blue bikes appear to be standard Stelvios, not NTXs. Are they special orders? Moto Guzzi USA does not list them on their website, but Moto Guzzi Italy does.

It appears to say NTX in all the photos.

^ Ah, you are right! It does.

That is curious. I wonder if Moto Guzzi USA has simply failed to update their website, or if the blue is a special order.

they have a marketing without a clue that some people don't want all of that crap and big steamer trunk boxes.
I would buy today if the euro one was av.

Blue Guzzis have a history of just showing up unannounced.

Really.

Second blue Stelvis
 Stelvis has left the building!  Love it!

I thought this was actually a Stelvio Sport model from Europe rather than a Stelvio NTX...is that how it shows up on the paperwork as well?

Sent Mike an email - I'm dead serious about painting my Silver Norge to this color...would love to know if that's possible!

By the way Larry...the TomTom they show on this blue Stelvio is the one I have installed now...will drop off the bike perhaps Friday morning to do the hard-wiring on the GPS unit if you can fit it in.

I found where they hid the Tom Tom plug on another Norge so yours won't take long.

The NTX goodies get added out of the crate, me thinks.

That blue looks awful close to the blue on the 1400 Custom that I've seen pictures of. Bring on the blue!!!
