Hey KZfaqrs! In this video I collect my new to me V85TT from the dealer, SP Motorcycles in Exeter and take a ride home through some fairly typical English spring time liquid sunshine, with a few musings along the way. Enjoy!

What a good choice. This bike is just different and put a smile on my face everytime I ride it. It is not perfect as 2023 version has a poor wind protection but nothing you couldn’t tackle properly with spare part. congrats for this purchase. Worths it

I find the handling great as well and yes it is a great place to be.

I had a CB500X before which I thought (and was!) good but the Guzzi is on another level. It doesn't seem to matter what the weather is doing it just feels planted.

I had a test ride on one, I loved it, real proper motorcycle, alive, mechanical magic! Had my heart set on the Mandelllo which is a great bike, the V85 is more comfortable, I have heard the Mandello service charges are just eyewatering at 15k miles. The V85 is a little underpowered but has enough for real world riding, I was surprised how much I liked it. So it's between the two now and do I wait for the new 24 V85?? One way or another it's a Guzzi for me and I would happily own either bike. Congrats on the new bike 👍

Same for me I can not decide... At my dealer they have v100 red that I wanted to buy but after 1000 km of test drive they got recall and changed the whole engine . So I'm now suspicious about 💯 This is a old school trusty thing .

Well done with your purchase, I do like the V85tt. I purchased a V7 stone in September last year rode it back home in hail storm 😵‍💫not a great first ride! but I have added 3000 miles on it since then, might I suggest joining the Moto Guzzi Club GB only £20 + £5 joining fee local branch meetings throughout the country a good mag + advice. Also it's been a good few years since I travel up & down the A303 with 44t fertilizer tanker lorries on my way to Devon & Cornwall farms, I don't miss the cars drivers trying to film StoneHenge on my side of the road though!!

How are you getting along with it? I am considering the outgoing model and then doing a de cat, hi flow air filter, Vtwin boost and end can

So far so good - a couple of wee niggles but really loving the handling and brakes. The standard exhaust is way too quiet, although the induction roar does kind of make up for that!

Hi great video, I was always concerned about reliability, what's it like on that front?

@edmoto4232 3 ай бұрын

It's too early to tell on my part yet but there are some people who have clocked up significant mileages without any serious issues.

Nice video. I just picked one of these up last week. Mine has the shorter windscreen. What’s your impression of your windscreen’s protection? Thanks.

@edmoto4232 3 ай бұрын

Hi Tom - the screen provides plenty of protection, even in the raked back / lower position, which I've found best for turbulence. I've 3D printed some inserts to go in the scallops at the front of the fuel tank to see if they reduce it even more. There will prob be a video on that in the near future.
