Go into a little analysis of each part of the motorcycle. Been riding for about 3,800 miles in the USA and getting a real handle on the bike.

    Thanks for all the comments folks. I am still alive and the motorcycle is now in NZ. I got a bit put off doing more videos when someone commented how monotone I sounded, I guess we can't all have a voice like Don LaFontaine, but will do a video on exporting a bike for anyone's interest and another video on breakages/fixes/issues which I thankfully have had very few.

    I don’t blame you for not making more videos. You do this in a gratuitous manner so if anyone wants to complain that is their problem. I am curious, did you have any issues adapting to the US road system and riding on the opposite of where you ride in New Zealand? HOpefully our yellow paint stripe between oncoming traffic helped a little. I’d love to visit New Zealand and Australia but worry about adapting to riding on the opposite side of the roadway, especially with the lack of a the yellow paint stripe which is painted white in NZ and Oz (I get that most countries in the world use white but I am accustomed to seeing yellow).

    The rear shock preload adjustment is not to stiffen or make soft the rear suspension, it is to adjust ride height for load. The more luggage and gear you take the more rear preload you add. It is to bring the attitude of your bike back to a regular stance for reasonable handling. If you leave your rear preload on your "soft" setting and load the bike up it will increase the front trail and slow the steering down on your bike (which you may find quite annoying over time). Fantastic bike though and I like that colour choice.

    I've watched a half dozen or so reviews on the V86tt and gotta say your is by far the best. Finally someone talking about the bike and it's controls rather than comparing it to other brands. This looks like the one I'll use for my trip to Perdue Bay in Alaska.

    Nice review of the bike's features. I've noticed that the fuel light comes on with about 90 miles remaining range (and 2 bars like you said). You may want to check the lumbar support hump fasteners under the seat. Mine vibrated off after only 600 miles. I do have the taller windscreen on order am was happy to hear you say that was an improvement over the stock screen. Safe ride on the rest of your trip.

    I like the classic low-slung Guzzi fuel tank and the vents in the battery cover. The Red/white color scheme is the best. I rode an 07 Breva for about 6 years and just recently sold it. Prior to that it was a BMW R1100S. I have to say that MG captured my heart and I would buy another if I ever get another bike. They have great character and built like a tank. Never really had to work on my Breva, but was looking forward to it because they are just build so rugged and simple.

    Hi Thanks for your review. I have had the same bike for 1 month and so far I love it. The uppermost light setting is to switch on additional (and optional) front fog lights which I have had fitted on mine. Also have had the MG heated grips fitted as they are available now but you can fit aftermarkets ones pretty easily. Ride safe and enjoy !

    The "time" in the dashboard you mentioned is the time the bike spent on during that trip once you reset it. So if you reset the trip A, the time will be reset to 0:00. It is not the actual time as in time zone etc.. You need to install the fog lights for the switch to work. It only activates the front fog lights, nothing on the rear.

    Great review. I have the Atacama grey one which was a bit of a second choice since the other colour schemes were sold out but happy now with my choice since certainly the tricolour orange already looks dated. Good to hear tall OEM screen works since I am 6'2 and have seen mixed reviews. Am still breaking in with only 150 miles to go, but my rev warning lights were factory set at 4200 so have kept to that... annoying when they come on at just over 70 in 6th! Can't wait to get past that first service. Have added the additional low level front mud guard which is interchangeable with the Caponord. Keeps the front of engine clean but probs not so good if off roading.

    yes, you can set the "shift lights" up to 6500 or 7000 without any problems... the reason it's set at 5500, is to break Inthe motor, at the beginning, so you don't overheat it... once broken in, your mechanics should of done that automatically...

    Very nice review. Second time watching it. They have a used one here locally. 4k miles. Identical to yours except being a year newer it has the heated grips. Quickest way to tell is there will be a small to medium sized black wire running to the bottom of the grip towards the flared end on the triple tree side of the bars. I want that bike so bad but my favorite saying lately. So many toys, so little money.

    Nice review and I Loveeeeeeeeeee Moto Guzzi's, I own one and I would never ever change/replace it for anything else but another Moto Guzzi. As far as when the empty (low fuel) signal comes up at the second bar from the bottom on the fuel indicator and the corresponding mileage says 81 miles, is because this motorbike runs between 40 - 48 miles per gallon and gives you about 2 gallons or 81 miles before it's too late to find a petrol station lol!

    I'm not sure if anyone pointed out that what you pointed to as wear indicators are acxby design and called lug locks. The wear indicators are much lower in the tread. They're there to help them corner on the street so under stress instead of a line of lugs rolling out from under the tire it's connected to to the next line of lugs to help prevent this. They're raised so the lug locks aren't really necessary after the knobby is worn down to locks. Doesn't mean that tire is done just means that it's going to be less effective in the off road capability than when new. Since it's a 80/20 tire I believe shouldn't matter for much other than mud since anyone that is riding hard core off road would have changed them straight away and sold them on Ebay. None the less, cheers and ignore the haters.

    Enjoyed your video. Have a dr650 that I tour around on backroads (gravel) with my 9 year old son. We are feeling tight on the bike and are considering something a bit bigger. Is this decent for 2 up and with good tires we should be fine on gravel/ forestry tracks?

    Great review my friend . Just put 1300 miles on mine recently in northern France. It was great but a lot of stuff on the dash I didn’t know ….. after watching your video ?.? I do now. Many thanks . What’s the screen you have ? I used stock on the trip with a lot of wind on my chest and helmet but not too turbulent. I’m 6ft 3 so a taller screen might help .

    Hi my name is Thomas I just purchased a new V 85TT 2021 and I took it out for a good spirited ride did a little bit of loose dirt little bit of loose sanded areas on pavement and stripped pavement I’m impressed but when I cracked the throttle in sport or any other mode it seems to gag and help hold back the bike when I put it in Offroad I think I’m not positive but I think you can crack the throttle and expect a bike to really light up is this the experience you’re having it seems as if the old Termanology we used to say crapping out you hit the throttle and it would crap out fire misfire slow down scape whatever you wanna say please let me know what your thoughts are since you’veGot some miles on yours thank you very much appreciate your video

    Good review sir. May I opine that you may be premature in replacing the tires. The tread depth shows a goodly amount of tire left. If you are averaging 70 - 80 mph. I'd say go ahead. At less speed then wait. The wear bars are read from the top. Not the side. Look for wear in the middle 3 inches of the tire. 3/32 in. depth is the limit generally. Cheers

    I don't agree. I could ride for 2-3hrs without needing to stand up on the pegs to get bloodflow moving. It would very much depend on the physiology of the rider. Easy to add some additional comfort but that won't stop the restricted bloodflow after a couple of hours as I experienced the same thing with the sheepskin in situ.

    I really wanted the 4 valve Griso or at least a similar guzzi with that engine, but it doesn't have any perks its pure power on two wheels. I made a decision that I would not go backwards and buy older bikes I would grow with the new technology as it comes out. It seems they will never bring an air cooled one out again due to emission standards. This is the first bike they have brought out that is bigger than the v7 in terms of height, so I don't look like a 6'2" giant riding a diddy bike now is the answer I guess. Also it has better power and better cockpit controls than the V7.

They just seem to keep on and never miss a beat. When speaking to a Brit, or someone who learned their English from a Brit, I think Americans don't miss an opportunity to make fun of them. Trust me, they are not giving you a hard time, they are just having a bit of a go at humor.

    You said you've owned a few V7s and waited to 8k to shift??? My V7s rev limiter cuts the engine at 7.2K rpm? It is still a pain when passing. Guzzi does like to run over 4K, no lugging at low rpm. How is the V85 in 1st gear for lugging around? My guzzis hate it! All my other bikes can be started off by just using the clutch and not using the throttle NOT the V&/guzzis that I know of? How does yours work? Will be interested in reports after 15K. Mine dont start running good until after 30K.

    Eh someone told me that v-twins love low gears and high revs. When I switched to that style of riding I found it much easier to corner using throttle control. I'll only use 5 & 6 to overtake when i'm already going 100kph. Sometimes on a long trip i'll sit in 5th, rarely sit in 6th unless i know i'm not going to change down for a while. Most of my riding on the V7 are short trips with lots of twisties under an hour.
