These are my FIRST impressions of the Moto Guzzi V85TT 

I did 37,000+ kms in 91 days across 4 corners of Continental US and Canada. (: it was my road trip.. I can say, more than happy to do again with this bike... thing I changed were my tires. Absolutely amazing machine and as long as you do the recommended service in the intervals. It won't be an issue at all. I only did 1 brake pad changes.. did many fire roads and gravely ones. If you want a good value on a bike you can't go wrong with it! One thing that I struggled with was to pick it up from the ground but that might be because I was weak! Amazing bike...

I did some 8,000 km on my V85TT so far. I like it a lot better than the liquid-cooled BMW 1200 GS I owned before, which I think, although technically a very good bike, has no character at all. I currently also have an air-cooled BMW 1200 GS that I do like as much as the V85TT however. I have the high comfort seat on the Guzzi which is much better than the seat of both GS-s. Seating position on the V85TT for me is perfect (I am 6ft3 or 1.90 m tall). I can ride the whole day with no problems whatsoever. The Guzzi comes standard with heated grips (it is the small button with white dot on the left hand switch gear), although the first two settings don't do much. The only negatives that I have is the heat the engine produces above outside air-temperature of 25 deg C roasting your legs and the turbulance caused by both low and high windscreens (and even with Givi Airflow). That said I never had a bike where the screen did not produce turbulance. Average fuel economy is 24 km/liter, giving a theoretical range of 550 km.

I just picked up my first Moto Guzzi, the Guardia d'Onore, a little over a week ago and I'm in love! #567/1000. I've got almost 500 miles on her now so about halfway to her first service. I'm coming from a RE Himalayan (my first bike) so this thing is like a rocketship! It's quite the machine. Salute!

I rented a V85TT on my visit to Italy and had no issues keeping up with my host on his Tenere 7 on the twisties or motorway. This was my first shaft drive and that was the first thing I noticed, loved it. Your review was very thorough and didn’t overwhelm with a lot of technical issues. You stuck to the things that most riders are concerned about.

As an Alaskan resident, my V85TT is commonly used for exploration and multi day camping. Tradition and character are the two most applicable adjectives. It’s certainly not smooth, but has sufficient power. Suspension is sufficient but clearly not going to compare to a Tuareg or DDX. Just rode the North Island 1000 on Vancouver Island; solo exploration in the wilds of west coast Canada. It’s more capable than you might think.

I have a 22 travel and a 21 v7 special. Love both. Btw that is a beautiful town you are riding in.

Looking to switch from my MT07 to a more 'touring capable bike ' this is on my list! I love the way they look. Had a Guzzi V11 in the past, bit of a love hate relationship but I still really like the quirky Guzzis. After testing the V85 I recognise a lot of your findings. Would be a perfect long distance tourer. I'm just not convinced that it's powerful enough. The MT has similar power figures but weighs a lot less. Might have to save up for a V100

I have a '22 Centenario model which I think is really one of the best looking bikes out there, and it is very comfortable and fun to ride. Might not want to motocross on it but it is a good offroad bike too.

I own a V-Strom 1000 from 2019. I do a lot of kms a year. Keep coming back to the v85tt. My concern is, is strong and big enough for two people with luggage for a long trip. My wife and I are Danish so both around 184 cm in height. Compared to the GS, I know it’s not as powerful.

Leuk gedaan , heb zelf de wit/ rode , super blij mee

I own the V7 stone 2022, and I am in love with the bike. Better brakes would have been nice but the engine is a peach! 🍑

İ have got mine 5 days ago also. And it is an artwork. Very special motorcycle.

Well done. This is a nice machine. Got my like here. I did a test ride and I was impressed. A do it all Guzzi I would say. Those interested can check it. Cheers.

Enjoying your videos, good luck👍

Sorry Greta. ( How dare you?!) Hahahahahahaha!

I like the V7 but the 85TT felt considerably more powerful to me

Really great

Thanks again.

Which town is this youre passing through?

I own one. So far so good.

I tested one. It disappointed me. This bike is just outdated not "classic". It's not about the performance, but the overall build quality, the pleasure of driving.

W T F ?!?!? - they gave u THIS Guardia D'onore - simply to test-ride ?! 😨😨 Try to ride a Guzzi ( don't know about the V100..) in JAMS 🚕🚕🚌🚌🚚🚚🚕🚕🚗🚗🚐🚐 on a HOT summer day ❗❗☝☝🤣🤣 - well I do NOT recommend to do that, unless the rider suffers from an extreme, chronical freezing 🥶🥶 .... On the warmer days ( ~ 26 - 30+ °C ) my one is PARKED !

Must be joking the 80's colours look better than this one. It is like a black leather jacket vs a 5 coloured cordura sport jacket😂

Omg...

The best ADV motorcycle is the BMW GS line. I was considering getting this Guzzi, my brother had the Brevia 700cc for years, Guzzi's transverse mounted V-twin is pretty reliable. But I ended up getting a BMW f800gs, and I'm glad I did, the GS line is the best all around ADV bike
