I was recently hit by a drunk driver while on my Kawasaki KLR650 and it was totaled, (very totaled) I'm now looking to replace it. I've always wanted a BMW1200 Adventure....but after seeing this video I just may be sold on a Moto Guzzi V85. Beautiful bike and I love that retro flavor it has. Great video, thank you.

As often the best possible review of a gorgeous motorcycle. How could some people dislike 🐽. Thank you for your time passion and skills.

nice bike and thanks for the review im getting more interested in this motoguzzi the more reviews i watch seems everyone loves it

Thanks for the review. Beautiful bike! Would love to own one.

Nice review! I ride a v7 racer and can't wait til I can get this bike! I want to try other brands, but Guzzi just makes gorgeous bikes!

As always, great review! Bought mine last week, thank you for your impressions.

I do enjoy your relaxed approach to reviews. I have seen a few of your vlogs and I could never figure out whose style you reminded me of until recently. I mean this as a compliment in that your laid back style is reminiscent of am American entertainer named Fred Rogers. Hopefully you can enjoy the same success and respect that Fred had here.

Fantastic video. I'm a proud owner of a beautiful Moto Guzzi Stelvio but nontheless I can't wait to do a test drive on this gorgeous bike, keep up the great work man!

Another great review: thank you. Great bike Moto Guzzi!

BEAUTFUL!!! Thanks for the review!!!

Giving this one serious consideration.There should be more shaft driven bikes of this displacement.Great job Scott.👍👍

You just described my experience with my '84 Le Mans III...it was an intoxicating bike to own. This 85TT sounds like a winner - and interesting that even though this is an adventure bike, the specs (except the mod cons) are very close to my Le Mans.

Thanks for the nice Video, i' m riding actually the V9 from Moto Guzzi. This will be my next Bike. 👏😁

The gear shifts seems to be adventurous in all their recent models! My V 7 iii does the same, doesn't indicate till you release the cluch all the way and let another second pass! I recall you mentioning it on your test (the very first of your tests i watched!) It is a lovely, more close to modern day motorcycle, that might appeal to a broader audience than their classic models! As a very happy and proud even owner, I hope V85tt will be a success and i wish them the best and to keep making great motorcycles, always in Mandello del Ario!

Such a really interesting bike, full of character and a lovely engine! If i didn't own an R1250GS this would definitely be on my radar.

This bike looks and sounds so good. I can appreciate it’s uniqueness and quirks. It is like jewelry or like you said “fine wine” is probably best enjoyed at on nice Sunday afternoon. I wonder how it would hold up regular use or long rides. To be proven.

Excellent video and also very personable reviewer

Very nice review!! Thanks you.

Great Review. Thanks.

Great Review - Thanks

Good review, I liked the analogy of a good glass of wine, I also have a V85TT, it will be a year in July, I think exactly the same. Enjoy life, good curves with Motoguzi.

great review !

Great review many thanks

Great review, I hope Guzzi make another Griso though, but untill then thanks for your review

"Moto Guzzi...Enjoy life". You deserve a paycheck from their marketing team. Nice Review. This bike is in my grab bag for my next ADV ride. Thank You.

great bikes i bought a guzzi v 85 tt travel wow it just puts the biggest smile on your face

I totally agree with you. La moto é piu bella! The V85TT is gorgeous! I’d love to buy it at Brazil but there are no Guzzi Dealers here!

Great review of a great bike.

Thanks man. Your video matches my opinion about the Guzzi. She is such a beautiful and great bike. I never ever thought that Moto Guzzi could come up with a bike that perfect. I mean no disrespect for them, but so far their bikes were made for smaller people and I am 6ft 3in. So a V7 or V9 is out of reach and I don't like those cruisers, even though this Audace looks quite amazing!

Great Review Thanks

Yes, this model MG is sophisticated and elegant like classic music.

Best bike reviewer!

Looks like a very sharp turning radius.

This is the 3rd time I´am watching, maybe I really enjoy V85tt...

Beautiful bike

I'm a fan of Guzzi and I want this bike

I think this is a very interesting bike and certainly falls into my category of consideration, however the biggest issue I have is that it hasn't tubeless tires 😭 Come on Moto Guzzi we're in 2019, it's possible to have spoke rims and tubeless. If you want to steel customers from BMW you have to go the whole way. Nice review as always 👍

Bob Ross for bikers ;-) Feel good now and start dreaming. Have my test ride in four days 🤘

Lovely looking bike as soon as I saw it in my local dealer especially in that colour ... wow it’s so different and that drl... 😍 thanks man🙏🏼

great bike.

WOW, im more shocked at how much he liked it

How does it compare two the KTM 790 ADV standard (nice review of that one, BTW) for road only?

A tech note at 6:00 mins; the engine (i.e. crankshaft) is the 'longitudinal" configuration. A transverse crankshaft would be like the UJM 4-cylinder types. I would love to know if the heat output is a deal-breaker in warmest climates.

I think your in love. 👍

🔝🔝🔝

To all past and present MG owners, is there any issue with the shaft drive system, and is it tedious to maintain? My friend's Griso keeps blowing a fuse. Is electrical issue common with MG?

💪👏👏👏👏👏

The white one remind me , from the back , my old cx650E and the red one a Lemans 850 .I don’t know how many Km's you’ve driven with it, but what about reliability?

What are the maintenance schedules for this bike.

Is it good for 190cm tall rider?

🤗🤩✌👌👏

Hey Scott, If you were asked to pick one of this Guzzi or the Triumph scrambler 1200, which one you would pick?

the Moto Guzzi is an incredibly beautiful bike, but I can't imagine that there aren't any problems with the engine in summer or in city traffic. the engine is only air-cooled and doesn't even have an oil cooler.

Thank you for such a great review. I actually purchased one prior to any reviews coming out. I paid the full amount without hesitation just based on the looks of the bike and due to the fact I own a V7ii Racer. So I'm familiar with the agricultureness of Moto Guzzis, which doesn't bother me one bit. I just knew in my heart that it will be a great bike to ride and to own. I also own a 2012 R1200GS Rally edition, and in my opinion as well as others, there is NO bike that handles like a R1200GS. It's just soo easy. So I was just wondering how you would compare the handling in the corners and low speed handling of the V85 versus the R1200GS?

If you buy one people go and buy an aprilia componard front mudguard fits straight on

Hi Scott, just discovered this video. How do you compare the Guzzi with your f900xr? Would you trade in your xr for a v85tt? Cheers from Mechelen (B)

Hi! I have a question! If someone whose about 5' 10.75" 225lbs with a 30 inch inseam but has never owned a bike but took an official motorcycle training course (not in Germany and let it expired before moving here) but has had plenty of exposure to 4wheelers and scooters and the like as a much younger man...WOULD or could you suggest this bike to a mature middle aged man whose looking to have not only his first bike but a long-termer? My thing has always been about safety but I've never wanted to "go fast" and now that Im 'older' (relatively) I feel like maybe I could own something a little more than...well...a V7. Don't get me wrong I love the V7 and it feels great ergonomically but I do want to travel...and potentially two up. Unfortunately I can't test ride any bikes yet here in Germany until I go through the safety program which Im fine with but I want a Guzzi so badly! Your thoughts? Thankyou! Love your videos! Would like to visit your dealership but its a bit far from me. Prost!

Motorrad Berlage , in Borchen near Paderborn in Germany , I have order the same Machine

Nothing to prove question for you this v85 tt bike or z900rs what would you choose?

How about The weigth? What do you think. Regards from Pamplona-Spain.

e una moto stilosa

Its a cruiser in an adv package

just traded my v7iii for the v85tt travel

What is the proper pronunciation; Gutz- zi or Guz-zi ? I've heard it both ways but more so with a "T".

V85TT or KTM Adventure?

Looks like you would mess up the heads when you crash

Please tell me that you can adjust the screen height by hand, as you showed an Allen bolt (maybe there’s a star knob on the other side?). This review focuses so much on aesthetics p, but tends to overlook the obvious shortcomings of low power, 170mm of fork travel, low ground clearance, small diameter wheels etc etc. basically it’s a wannabe but can’t be

Please stop smoking, it makes you drool and say stupid things. E.g. this engine is longitudinal, not transversal...

The new Indians suck. No, that idea won't work at all. Trust me. The picture quality on this vid is great along with the audio. Excellent job. I do like Moto Guzzi but they lost me when they went electronic. Guys, you just don't need that type tech on a bike.

Ok, this one I don't understand. It looks like a circus truck backed into it.

Literally the ugliest bike i have ever seen. Its the crocs of the motorcycle world
