Moto Guzzi V85 TT riding Austrian twisties [RAW Onboard] 

YES PLEASE!

Some Guzzi dealers are talking about a V7 updated frame with this engine are coming... LeMans 850 vibes.

@@kobhalt94 this would be a perfect match

@@kobhalt94 Incredible they didn't understood that before...instead the rooamer...

On its way now, but detuned to 65 hp. Still, the V7 Special is beautiful and it is high on my list for the next bike.

I'm trying! Thanks!

I think it’s stock too

Thank you so much for this wonderful comment :)

Agree, is a delight to watch a bike video without a compilation of drama queens picking up on drivers changing lanes or with the mobile phone on their hands at the traffic light. I ride like this guy, and is good to see that I'm not the only one.

I have considered it... I Have XT 600 for... eternity? Tried, Then T700...AT 1000 has won it for me (fot real off still XT600 or ..DR..XR can't be beaten IMHO)

Awesome comment MerceneX. Same here. For me no other ADV feels this pleasant when riding at a relaxed pace.

I'm in my twenties too and I think this bike is ab absolute peach. Classic looks, air-cooled engine, clunky gearbox (in a good way?, nice suspensions. As a Bonneville owner there's no alternative to the V85TT in a Triumph range. Air-cooled engines are abandoned, Scrambler 1200 is immensely expensive, has no room for luggage and small fuel tank. Tiger 800/900 are just in another league.

Bought mine half a year before I turned 30 😁 It's a fantastic bike, it can't compare to its powerful rivals when it comes to power, speed etc. but it doesn't even try. It rides well, handles good, sounds fantastic without being super loud (a great advantage in the light of the noise discussions in DE & AT) and is a pleasure to look at.

@@velocitay7450 and shaft drive.

Definitely!

Glad you enjoy it! Thanks!

Thanks for noticing

excellent choice!!

@@Schaaf yes Sir 👍🏻 Respect 🙏

Welcome ;)

So are the downshifts when performed by the Schaaf

Thanks you two

Thank you so much!

Thanks man

Well said!

Thanks

Very cool!

I guess

was komisch ist, weil ich die Kupplung beim Runterschalten verwende :D

@@Schaaf Oh, ich meinte natürlich Hochschalten! Das andere würde wohl nach hinten los gehen

thanks Neil

They worked very well for me

Thanks

Thanks Jean! Be careful though. You'll probably end up buying it :D

Cool

As an Audace owner I approve this message 👍 especially fitted with the Mistral exhaust like mine. Epick sound. But to be honest even with the stock exhaust as long as U keep the revs between 4.500-7000rpm Audace sounds good 💪

It´s a series called Schaaf on the run. ;)

Thanks

you should!

Danke für den Kommentar, Jochen. Ich kann mir die Testbikes leider nicht aussuchen. Dabei würde ich unglaublich gerne die gesamte Guzzi Palette durchtesten :)

Servus Jochen, servus Schaaf! Ich habe erst jetzt dieses Kommentar gelesen, gefunden aber gleich Hände zusammengeklatscht endlich jemand der Schätzt die Guzzi feeling. War so gut dieses Kommentar zu lesen. Sage ich so, dass ich auch ein 2008-er Breva 1200 ABS fahre, habe erst 30tkm auf der Uhr. Ich wohne in Schwarzwald aber Schaaf falls du eine testen möchtest, meins steht gerne zu Verfügung. 🍻

@@mr.pinter1080 Servus Mr. Pinter, ich habe eine 1100-er Breva, Bj. 2006 ohne ABS. Ich bin immer noch sehr begeistert von diesem Motorrad. Der bullige Motor, das sehr gute Getriebe, der Sitz- und Fahrkomfort, die Soziustauglichkeit, die Zuladung, der große Tank, das einfache Verstellen der Vorspannung und der Zugstufe, die Wartungs- und Reparaturfreundlichkeit, der Stauraum unter der Sitzbank, einfach top! Schon allein das Starten ist immer ein Erlebnis! Falls Du mal Probleme mit dem Anlasser haben solltest (bekanntes Breva-Problem), musst Du einfach die Abdeckung unten am Anlasser abschrauben, die 2 Kabel am Anlasser abschrauben und mit einer Feile blank machen, ebenso die Kabel oben an der Batterie, dann geht er wieder! Nach der Winterpause muss ich immer oben am Kupplungshebel den Deckel des Behälters abschrauben und ein paar mal den Kupplungshebel ziehen, um die Luft aus der Leitung zu pumpen, damit die Kupplung wieder einwandfrei trennt. Falls Du nicht das Werkstatthandbuch hast. Der Serviceschlüssel ist bei meiner 36421. Mit ihm kannst Du den Fehlerspeicher auslesen und auch die SERVICE-Einblendung zurücksetzen. Ich wohne nahe des Schwarzwalds, in Villingen-Schwenningen. Ob wir es schaffen den guten Schaaf mit unseren Brevas in den Schwarzwald zu locken, wage ich allerdings zu bezweifeln...😀Gruß Jochen

@@jochenbuhler4547 Oha! Schöne Grüße aus Alpirsbach/Freudenstadt! 😄 Wie klein ist der Welt... Wie können wir den Kontakt ausser RU-vid aufnehmen? Wir müssen echt mit unseren Brevas mal treffen

Dank dir!

Jawohl!!

Well said Giovanni! The V85 indeed is magical

Yea!

OK :)

Check the description, I can't remember ;)

thanks

I appreciate that!

Just try one

A V7 would fit you like a glove.

@@TheOfficialCaseMade Such a beautiful bike🥺

I even wrote that this is not the right pace for the Guzzi and then proceeded to show a more appropriate one...

@@Schaaf nah man, beat her up, they can take it

Because it's fun

Thanks mate

Danke!

If it's anything like my Stelvio, the engine is NOT like many v-twins. On mine the revs up to 4k can be a bit rough but on the freeway going 80 MPH, the engine wants you to rev it beyond 4k. As you go beyond 4k the engine smooths out and will keep on revving toward the redline of 8k. This is a smaller engine and I don't know what It's unique characteristics might be differing from the 1200. This engine likely in no way revs like a Harley or Indian which may top out before 5k.

True that. The Guzzi feels best when cruising relaxed but still it takes the high revs very well and also offers quite a bit of power up there. +Mario for sure! Can't wait to get back next season :)

thanks

Thanks

Unfortunately ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-A_lVU5NGIUY.html

Cool!

Not at all

It's a decent mix of soft and stiff. Most ADVs are softer but also more comfortable. But I really liked the V85s setup since I don't really like soft bikes

I was quite satisfied with them

Ich dank dir, Toni!

it sounds so lovely

it's a bit louder in person

Hahaha herrlich verrückt :D

Mhm

ja, und ich kann nicht ohne fahren :D

@@Schaaf schön das jeder so fahren darf wie er will😅 lass es krachen!

Thanks Keff

True that

Vielen lieben Dank, Ralf!!

to me it was the opposite

Me too :)

Only good ones

Sorry Phil, I wouldn't know. I just borrowed this for a day.

Theres a leaking issue with the Kardan on some bikes, other than that not many Problems - The German "Motorrad Magazin" has a 50000 km long term test online on their website, maybe take a look at that with google translate :)

You're comparing a Scrambler with a travel bike.

@@Schaaf I’m this kind of Guy lost between the two 😂

thanks

absolut! Dank dir!

Sometimes I do that but it always depends on the circumstances

@@Schaaf thanks for your questions

Ok

Danke! Ich war danach eh hauptsächlich in OÖ unterwegs :)

Mehr als genug

Yes

I wish you the best! I can totally understand you. It's an amazing bike for sure!

I am deciding between Tracer 900 GT and V85TT. Which one you think will do better for 2 up touring? Cheers

@@borislavnt976 Depends, both are great bikes. Tracer was "too fast" for me. Guzzi is more lazy, but I enjoy the ride much more on Guzzi than on Tracer. So far I was not on long trip with Guzzi more than one day due Covid, so I do not know what she do with me after two weeks of riding and sleeping in tent. What I may say that speeds over 120kmh will increase consumption a lot and bike does not like highways for long time, it is not comfortable and you feel that bike is not for that. With Tracer the highway was nothing with over 160kmh. So you should test both what fits to your personality and riding style. I have to pick slow and nice roads in my planning of trips and avoiding highways ( not for all costs ) if possible. Also If you have friends with faster bike, most probably you going to slow them. I had no issues with oil leaking and such, but from Yamaha you may have feeling of more reliable bike. Guzzi is like a tractor. But as I said , test both and you will see which fits to you. I finally found bike which really fits to me and I want to keep it for very long time :D

@@tomdrpa7221 Thanks for the long reply. It's great that you find the right one for you. I am in the same situation, hoping that I will find the bike that suits me the best in the nearest future. Cheers

ok

Ich lege die Gänge genau gleich ein, wie auf allen anderen Motorrädern auch. Bei der Guzzi hört es sich auf der Sound Aufnahme bloß ungewöhnlich laut an

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-A_lVU5NGIUY.html

das Getriebe, ist aber nur auf der Tonspur so laut zu hören. In echt funktioniert es wunderbar und ohne störende Geräusche

@@Schaaf aha🤓

:)

character

CB500 PC26

Fortunately they do clunk in all rev ranges

@@Schaaf if you let the revs fall a lot before changing does it still clunk ?

Never heard that Triumph apparently

Well said

I think gopro 7 black

yes

Thanks

Chin

Thanks man. Keep up the nice work

Google can do incredible things

@@Schaaf 👍

Tiger 800 so not even close :D

Ok

Same company, yes

dislike words?

English please

to me it is not since I don't need much power to be satisfied
