I have one. I just love everything of it (and my wife too as a passenger). 22 000 kms on the clock and we got no problem at all. 4,2 liters/100 km average consumption, little maintenance, a very good motorbike. Thank you, Guzzi engineers!
sorry for my late response, but way to much. check this ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lhQkcf_ZtkE.htmlsi=F3w-STT-OUz-Z1Lq&t=320 @scottloftin1730
totally agree with you. Just a little problem of wobble at very VERY high speed (level autobahn, up to 150 kmh) with and without topcase. Maybe it's because it's not projected for this kind of use. Eccept to this, is a wonderful bike! N.1700/1946 E5
I had a Le Mans mkl in 1980. Loved that bike for 10 years. Then Guzzi made nothing I liked until the V85TT. You can now buy them new for £9499 in England. Great review, cheers.😊
Thanks for the review of the V85TT. I try honk it’s a great bike and an excellent package. For an older (and middle aged) motorcyclist it ticks all the boxes : style, enough performance, great badge, character, great riding dynamics and easy maintenance.
Excellent review. I own this bike in flat black and have grown to love it. Valve adjustments are a snap to do yourself; no need to a dealership for this job.
Thank you for a thorough review. I also am a fan of this bike and was lucky enough to purchase a Guardia D'Onore. The bike has so much character and is an excellent conversation starter. I love Moto Guzzi and hope this bike and others they produce ensure they are here to stay.
I love that the yootoob closed captions state "music" and "applause" when you are showcasing the sound of the engine. It's ironically accurate! 😂 One tip I'd offer you, and every motorcycle channel, don't just give your height as it's not super helpful. Share your inseam as it is way more relevant to how the bike fits and is more relatable. Two riders that are the same height can have very different leg lengths and thus a very different fit for the same bike!
Thanks for the great review. Just one friendly advice from my side: It is now the second V85TT video I see from you where you just guess the specs of the motorcycles and get them wrong just to correct them in editing. Preparing the specs and facts about the bike beforehand to get them right in the first place is much more appealing for the viewer. Otherwise the question comes up "Why is he trying to tell me anything about this bike if he didn't do his research?". I love the bike and I will get one very soon! Ride safe!
Thanks mate! We had the specs with us. And the google search said 76HP for example. But when editing I checked again and it was 80hp (this was because of the update of the engine I guess) on the 22 model. but thanks for your feedback!
This is a beautiful motorcycle, in my opinion. I want to trade in my Aprilia Dorsoduro for this one. It reminds me of the DD in many ways. They have a lot of similar small quirks, as they are both Piaggio Group bikes. However, this one is more comfortable. I have had the DD for many years, and it is time for me to get something more practical. Great review! Thank you.
I've owned a 1100 sport. I tried and tried to find what might make it look even better. Anything that was available or came to my mind did the opposite. Moto Guzzis hardly ever get "tuned". They are as beautiful as they can get, straight from the box. Wonderful brand!
Great great great!!! One question that I would like to have your point of view .. I have watched your comparison videos but still , I wonder how you gonna answer it.. :) I got a Moto Guzzi v7 Racer and now also considering to have a second bike to take touring .. I m in love with v100 Mandello but also thinking like v85 TT would be a better solution for my necassity .. I know v100 is a better bike , I know the capabilities .. but I will be keeping my Racer for city riding .. How would you handle this situtation :D v85 TT or v100 as a second bike ? Cheers mate
Really depends mate! I think the v100 is the better touring bike and a lot more fun than the v85tt. Unless you ride two op the v100 is the better option. But also consider the V100 Stelvio which is coming next year
KTM 890 SMT or this one? For occasional weekend rides, for somebody who is not pushing bike fast, Moto guzzi could be a good choice. And I think maintenance is cheaper on MG.
Good question. The SMT is a whole different beast, way more power, more agile, also less reliable than the guzzi. Also different character and I think you will lose a lot of money on the if you ever want to resell it. So If you are not a very sporty rider and maybe also want to travel on the bike I would recommend a v85tt
I did a test drive a few weeks ago and really liked this bike. But did anyone else notice how the metal on the sides of the bike next to the foot pegs sticks out? I felt my feet were a little bit cramped and uncomfortable. I don't notice anyone mentioning that.

Its clean, sculptured lines showcase the Mandello eagle’s pride and joy: the transverse 90° V twin air-cooled engine with OHV distribution and two valves per cylinder. This 853cc beauty delivers a maximum 76 horsepower with an impressive torque of 62 ft-lb at 5000 rpm.

Bike looks great. Especially in these yellow, red, white colours. But I tested it and I don't really like anything about it. I was hoping, as they say in all these videos, that this is a motorcycle with the feel of a classic. And it's just outdated. It's heavy and that's how it goes. Especially at low speeds. It's good that this motorcycle is not another superbike, but it would be nice to be able to overtake a car with it - it accelerates slower than my bicycle. The display is small in ugly colors.
Thanks. This is not correct. Depends on where you read it. Transversal engines and longitudal engines are often mistaken for each other. If you check the specs online many websites claim that it is a transversal 90 degree v-twin www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/model/moto%20guzzi/Moto_Guzzi_V85TT_19.html

@@droommotormi dispiace, no. In meccanica motoristica è la posizione dell'albero motore (crankshaft) che definisce un motore trasversale o longitudinale. Il motore Guzzi quindi è longitudinale, non trasversale. Poi sono d'accordo con te che la MAGGIOR PARTE dei recensori fa confusione e sbaglia... P.s.: io ho una Centenario, al momento 63000 km percorsi.
