    Merry Christmas to me. Zack is riding my bike on DR!! First Guzzi in my garage. Owned it 14 months, 20k miles, a few 1,000 mile days (Florida to Colorado and back), a track day, some light dirt. Riding back out West again this summer. Been happy with it. Only problem was an O2 sensor replaced under warranty with no questions asked. I’ve been pretty happy with it so I must be geriatric or just charming and unique.

A small seat that needs to be surgically removed from your butt after a few hours. Things I do want. A bike that is easy to work on. A bike that is comfortable. A bike that wont bankrupt you to buy and maintain. A bike that is reliable. A bike that gets halfway decent mileage. I think I like this bike.

I believe he had one of the first models that came out in 2018 so maybe some production fault with the first models coming off the production line. Maybe now they have a better assembly or smth.

    People need to understand what this bike is about. If you’ve ever ridden a vintage BMW airhead, this is a modern version of that bike. Feels like my 1989 R100GS, which is the best thing ever. The Guzzi has all of the vintage character with all of the modern fit finish and technology. Truly an amazing bike - puts a smile on your face and will go anywhere and do just about anything. And they can be had for closer to $10,000 from dealers with luggage which is a lot of motorcycle for the money. The fit and finish is amazing and the motor is a joy.

Both bikes just quilt with some sort of electronic malfunction. Gave both guys a ride into cell phone coverage so they could call for a flatbed on my 40 year old Airhead.

    Currently own a 1989 Moto Guzzi Mille GT 1000 cc that I have had for 20 years. Once took me 120 miles on one cylinder at highway speed when one spark plug wire crapped out on a Sunday morning with no shops open. At almost 70 years old it has gotten too heavy to maneuver in and out of situations. Purchased a 2013 Moto Guzzi V7 Stone at more than 100 pounds less wet weight. Absolutely love it. Will stay with Moto Guzzi for the rest of my riding life. I have owned BMW, Laverda, Ducati, Moto Morini, Triumph, BSA, Zundapp, Indian, Suzuki, Kawasaki, Cagiva and loved them all for different reasons, but the fact that I can physically handle the weight of a bike that will cruise (illegally) at 85-90 mph for as long as I need, looks good, is reliable and affordable and unique, why shop anywhere else?- -Mike Battle

    I have a 2020 Travel. About 7500 miles old now. My first MG product. Honeymoon period being longer over, I gotta say I am still over the moon about it. It’s a great balance between new and old, has just enough power to keep it interesting and easy to ride. Outside of small build quality issues, one of the crappy OEM aux lights dying on me, it’s been a super reliable machine and has always got me home. My biggest gripe is, as a person who performs all basic services myself, I wish it didn’t require a dealer visit to reset service light. While it’s not my only bike in the garage, the V85TT has been the bike I ride the most.

    Guzzi offers a 1" taller and also 1" lower seat, very reasonable cost, includes gel insert. Also, one man's "antiquated" is another man's "timeless design". Guzzi does not make changes that are not major improvements. Their basic design is sound enough they don't change it much.

    It’s just a great, great bike for what it is. I love mine. Just finished a 5,800 mile 7 state road trip on my V85TT Centenario. It’s unique. It’s quirky. & it’s still cool. Most importantly to me, it’s not the most popular, & it’s not a GS. Everyone has a BMW or a triumph. Not everyone has a Guzzi. You’ll get tons of attention on this bike. Everyone wants to talk about it at gas stations. I agree with Zack, I don’t care for the tech. I honestly just love the cruise control. It’d probably be even cooler with older analog gauges. Cool to see one of my current rides on the daily rider.

    Thank you Zac for finally reviewing the V85TT. I've owned sport bikes (CBR600, R1), naked bikes (MT-07), and a Hypermotard. I've test ridden Harleys, Africa Twin, all Ducatis, all Moto Guzzis and others. I watched the v85tt when it came out in 2019 and finally test rode one last year and fell for the bike. I finally bought one last August as it now had tubeless tires/wheels (2021 V85TT Adventure in red). This is my favorite motorcycle I've ever owned. Loads of character and can do anything attitude. Enough power to be fun, enough electronics (cruise control, etc), huge gas tank to be practical, and the adventure model comes with metal side and rear box for only $13k. Massive bargain in my opinion compared to other bikes. Super easy to work on yourself, even valve adjustments. Low maintenance with the shaft drive. I don't think it has any negatives except the dealer network. The nearest dealer to Portland Oregon is past Seattle, so I had to drive 350 miles one way to get one. It should have been higher on the daily rider board as it's a great commuter. I felt like Zac was a little tire and just wanted to put it up there. Better than an Africa Twin which I've ridden. Happy holidays.

But Guzzi is THE Manufacurer for Air Cooled Engines, they really got the expirience and those Engines can take the heat. It is no commuter for me and i give my v85 150km minimum trips only.

    I'm an older guy that has been riding for over 55 years. I've been looking for my next ride and I think that I have found it in the new V85TT. Comfort, quality and practicality are hallmarks that I think are underappreciated by most of the younger set of riders. The V85TT is comfortable by all reports and the quality seems to be high as well. The fuel economy and the large capacity fuel tank might be the icing on the cake for me. The fact that you can tour long range in relative comfort and capably explore unimproved roads makes this bike just what I am looking for. The drive shaft is also a big selling point. Air cooled is lighter, simpler and just fine as long as you aren't looking for mega horsepower. Good job Moto Guzzi! Honda take notes please.

I discovered that the small kneepads on the rear edge of the fairing, just behind the cylinder heads, were a godsend - I could max brake from speed and plant my knees on the pads and not have huge weight transfer to the clip ons - and I could weight the sides of the fairing effectively, as the rearsets made weighting the footpegs more difficult.

    6500 miles in with my 85TT and very happy so far. 200+miles in a day remains comfortable. more power would be nice but you know that when you buy it (so not really a fair criticism). slow speed handling is very good/balanced. and it's a bit different from most others in the bike park.

    I own a 2020 Travel. It had a bad kickstand sensor early on which was replaced under warranty. Then recently at almost 4K miles, it had an oil pan gasket leak also repaired under warranty. Aside from those 2 issues, it’s been a stellar companion on all my rides… And I’m usually the only one with a Guzzi on any group roster filled with Ducatis and BMWs - and I like it that way. The only thing I wish my 2020 had is the tubeless spoke wheels from the 2021-up V85TT. Happy so far. But I can be lured away. Let’s see what the future brings…

    I have the Travel edition and I love the unique character of the engine, the precise braking, plush suspension and the looks of the bike. I think it’s a peach of a motorcycle! I have to differ with the reviewer as far as his statement that the bike carries its weight high up. In the opposite - I feel that it has such good low speed handling because it carries its weight low and I also find it is supremely balanced. Granted, I am not the type of rider that flogs the engine but enjoys the type of riding the engine encourages. For me, it has plenty of “zip”. As far as the twisties go I think it is a blast to do on the Gooz and I find it to be a rather lively ride on those types or roads. My other bike is the Super Tenere which is profoundly different in how that bike likes to be ridden and I love the difference in character between the Yamaha and the Gooz. Chris

I do the “big trips” across the country on my S 10 because it is super reliable and I know that I will be able to find a dealership almost anywhere in case I need an oil change during the course of a trip which happens quite frequently. Would I like to take the Gooz on trips across the USA? Definitely but I would worry about dealer support in case I need it. So, with my MG I generally ride the shorter, 2-3 day trips.

    I use mine for a daily workhorse to get me too and from work. It ticks the right boxes for me. Comfort, Quirky, MPG & practicality. I absolutely hate adjusting chains, so the shaft drive was a big win for me. I didn't want to go upto the BMW GS1200 range to have a reliable shafty. What I love. - The power is just about right for me. - My knees keep warm in the winter - For a tall bike, it feels good compared to my old DL650 - Top loaded panniers on mine. Much prefer them like that. - NO CHAIN ADJUSTMENTS... - The guzzi community is really nice & not elitist. I do have some gripes though. - The gear indicator not showing anything when the clutch is pulled in. - The clutch vibrates when it is engaging if it's not warmed up. - To change the riding mode, you don't use the mode button, but you use the start button. - The standard, non travel, wind deflector is pretty crap.

    You are the best reviewer in the business Zach- never change. I ride a 1982 Honda CX500 Turbo which reminds me of this Guzzi. Same engine layout, clunky gear box, shaft drive and smooth suspension but not high tech- at all. It's what I like about it however and total respect for those that this machine appeals to. Buy one and ride it before the sands of time wipe them away into the darkness of history. The Guzzi needs two standard analog gages- then I would have one.

    I test rode one of these back in ‘19 and really liked it. It’s a good sized bike (not huge, not small) with good character. It’s weight is fine with me. I like that it’s happy plonking along at sedated speeds and doesn’t really egg you on to ride like a nut but it’s willing to play if you want it to. It’s a bike that I feel like perfect balances highway use and running around tiny New England backroads. I’m disappointed Zach didn’t like the bike more. One major dislike I had was very odd play in the throttle response. Once underway, if you let off the throttle and got back on it, it had a dead spot that you had to twist past until the engine would respond. Not at all like a cable operated bike. I see very few people ever mention this, so I wonder if it’s a fault. I mentioned it to the people running the demo, but they kind of shrugged it off. That’s the only thing holding me back from jumping on this bike.

    I commuted on a Panigale V4 (now a track-only bike) for a few years, loved it. Got an Energica Ego as a commuter after that, which is great and all but riding an electric got boring. Decided to do something wildly different and picked up one of these (2021 V85TT Travel) a handful of months ago and absolutely love it. I daydream about riding it just as much as I do of my Panigale, despite making 150 fewer ponies. It also garners a lot of attention from other people, can be a good or a bad thing depending on who you are. The fog lights don't help much looking forward but are great at illuminating to the sides, making navigating neighborhoods at night significantly safer.

    Interesting. And good feedback. But the 2019 on version of V85tt makes 89bhp and the Panigale v4 210bhp... which is a difference of 120bhp (not 150). Still a massive difference...but it's great that you still find the V85TT of a fun ride. I'm toying with going back to a high powered naked sorry bike (like my last Tuono) or something with more classic character like ones of these!

    For the ones who like the brand and look for a different bike. You’ll never see a lot of this bikes in a daily basis. The engine is kinda oldie (conception wise), the gear box, very traditional, no quick shifter and clanky. Not a lot of power, so it’s a bike to go and relax. Maybe quite resilient. So can be a bike to keep. The dash is out of order, too little and to me doesn’t suit the rest and the riding modes feels strange on a bike like this, but I understand the choice by Moto Guzzi of putting it there. I would always choose a BMW 1250 GS, makes more sense to me. In every aspect. The guzzi is a bike for someone who wants a relatively safe bike with less challenge and capable to be ridden in all kind of terrains (urban or sub urban roads), to do a little soft off road. It has its charms. So, if you fall in love with the bike, why not? Maybe you could get surprised.
