Moto Guzzi V85 TT Travel 2022 Review | bikesales

The Moto Guzzi V85 TT first emerged in 2019 to effectively replace the discontinued Stelvio in the Italian brand’s line-up, before the higher-specification TT Travel followed in 2020. Here, Sam Charlwood puts the flagship to the test across road, off-road and some light trail duties.

Great review, and sounds like a good bike for someone who wants something a little different.

You covered everything in this short video. I rode this bike. Overall it feels a great package. I plan to make a video soon. Just keep up. Here goes my like.

My Kalahari Red always catches people's eye. Lots of head turns and thumbs up even from riders on what I consider a cool bike. i.e. Triumph 1200 scrambler.

Just picked up a 2021 the same as this. Only 69 miles on it (prior owners job required extensive travel). Doing some fluid changes since it sat so long but after my first ride I am quite pleased with it.

That's a 2021 model with the 100 year sticker.

congratulations, you've read the brochure 🤣, even got most of it right

I'm seriously looking at this and the old Suzuki 1050 for my next bike. I love quirky bikes with character and a V twin will give loads of that. My only niggling concern is Italian reliability and I reckon that the limited high tech with the Guzzi will negate that feeling. Good review ❤

Thanks for the short & consice review.

Great review, thank you!! Just love Motoguzzi, as a 50 years old beginner (use to have maxi scooter) will you recommended this beauty as a first bike!? Is this bike good for touring longer distance and duo? Thanx and regards from Serbia ✌️🇷🇸

bikesales, hey.that is top ~ have a good day- 👍

[stoundingresults]

I'm not going off-roading with my Guzzi. I just want to look cool which I know I am because I keep getting stares from ladies and bikers

[dayleashleynolasco]

Great honest review. This is what true youtuber reviewers must always do so that the Manufacturer should change or improve their next edition bikes.

For me, the windscreen is a bit much. It's too big & could upset the good look of the bike. Also, hard casses is a thing in the past now. Adventure riders & travelers aren't into this old stuff. It looks soo bulky, heavy & ugly.

Luggage racks with attachment hooks are the thing nowadays. It so simple & less Hussle. Famous youtuber/traveler like Itchy Boots, Charly Sinewan & others have been using these for quite some time now. It helps the bike handling, it can accommodate more stuff than those casses can & of course it looks way cooler. ☝️

how bad can those vibrations be? I ride a 2005 KTM 640 .... that's a vibrator on wheels

[vinjofin]

Its a nice bike. I have ridden the 2019 and the 2021 model. The last one has a bit less power but more torque. It rides very well but the engine is not one if you are in a hurry. It lacks power. It does not need 150+ hp as some of the big allroads. If it only had as much power as a BMW f850gs or Triumph Tiger 900 it would have been a bike for me. Now I am shopping at the competition, sadly...

[marktreloar]

It should be mentioned many if not all the 21/22 V85TT Euro 5 versions have a serious head knock and pinging issue that the dealers and the factory can not remedy. Ask me how I know. It's so bad on mine the bike can not be used for fear of engine damage. 10 weeks now at the dealers with no end in sight. They run way too lean and the hotter the ambient/engine temperatures the worse it is.

[sherylarp]

You are presenting the 2020 version and not the 2021 version
