Thanks to my friends @frasersmotorcycles7550 I've taken out the V85TT for a little spin. Hopefully I can redeem myself in the eyes of Moto Guzzi owners after the mixed reception of my previous V7 Stone video!
This video is cut a little short due to filming issues but I think you'll get the general gist of my feelings about the bike. It's available from Frasers to take out for a ride! This model (V85TT Evocative Graphics spec) is currently discounted to £10800 at time of publishing
A couple of things I didn't mention in the video... firstly just a passing comment that I found the indicator and cruise control switches feel a little vague and indistinct (I've seen this mentioned elsewhere and so I thought I'd say that I noticed the same thing.
The other thing is that this video is the first of little three-episode adventure bike review party!! 😁 The next bike to come is the 2023 Suzuki V-Strom 1050DE and after that is the BMW F850GS.
