The red and white is a stunner. My first choice.

Added a windshield extender to mine. Much improved in 70 mph traffic.

Well I just bought The Guzzi V 85 TT with the adventure luggage, and could not be happier! It's nice to see a good review.

Have had a V85 TT Centenario for about two months. Love it.

I test rode one a month ago and eventually decided to part x my Honda CRF 1000 DCT. It arrives this Thursday. And its a Mc Donald colour, loved that colour when I first saw it at a Bike show back in 2017.

Good looking ride!

Great real-world perspective. I am considering one of these bikes and appreciate your observations. The on-the-road support network has been causing me to pause but from everything I’ve been reading and watching, reliability doesn’t seem to be an issue. Thanks.

Added Guzzi side luggage and do all my grocery shopping in Mystic, Ct. Ive had three BMW's a bevy of Hondas, but this is the most fun. Add a holder for your iPhone for gps. Starting out cold, gear shifting needs a moment to warm up.

Your impressions are spot on (except for your color preference 😂). The V85TT was the first Moto Guzzi I had ridden/owned and it’s been a fantastic bike. Now over 42,000 miles in 3 years and no complaints. Here’s a short video from some of the rides in those first 3 years. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hN2qY82nnsCwnYE.html

Come on Scottie.....take the plunge and buy it! Lol. Love the color

Loved the ride, looking to move from HD Ultra to something lighter like this or NT 1100 when it comes to Canada. Africa Twin fit great, Triumph not as comfortable.

Seriously looking at ‘upgrading’ my already lovely V7 850…..but am aware that the throttle is by wire, not cable. Was concerned about the ‘surge’ you mentioned. Had this on my Kawasaki Z900RS, was so bad I had to get rid. Is the clutch/throttle really that awkward to use? Shame if so as it would put me off buying one.

McDonald's paint scheme haha good one! Seriously considering a '22 Guardia d'Onore limited edition. They are black/white and look really sharp.

It's a shame that dealership only has straight roads around it, although the V85TT seems like a decent option for that too with cruise control.

I demo'd one too and thought it was pretty nifty. The ergos were just spot on for me. Not crazy about the big silver square bags though. I'd go with the touring model as the bags don't stick out as far and it's got a better windscreen. The paint on that thing is lustrous. They goofed up the lines for the last two years though. Compare it to a 2020. The lines on the 20 are parallel and the rear follows the front line of the seat. For some reason, they did a mirror image of the paint these last two years and the seat no longer flows into the change in paint. I do like the lines of the tank from the seat though. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kLySl8mLt8C1hYE.html

Guzzis are great in the bends - shame you couldnt try it on any .

DesertX or V85 TT? I take Guzzi any day! Both are great bikes though. Btw mine is just that red/white one. 😍

Hey Scott, do you felt a heat from the engine?

I'm looking at this bike.

Man, you're surrounded by great back roads! Please use them or you will never really understand how great Guzzi's truly are.

Hi, i have this bike now nearly a year and drove about 10.000 km. you need to go a Mountain Road.........then you will be realy happy!
