The two dual-colour bikes are best; the yellow V85 has the air of McDonald’s about it, which is harsh – but once you see it you can’t un-see it. But against the longer-legged Scrambler 1200 XC, the V85 TT might struggle.
It rolls from side to side, much like a sports tourer – you don’t fire it into corners so much as gently lob it in, like an underarm toss. The work on the transmission has been successful – first goes in with a muffled thud rather than a teeth-rattling clunk. The V85 TT might have the off-road looks, and it’s more capable than a street-based scrambler like, say, BMW’s Urban G/S or Triumph’s Street Scrambler by virtue of its longer wheel travel.

Many bike engines are primarily about conveyance, because it’s a numbers game and easy to define and measure on a dyno readout.
The new V85 TT is dedicated to all those bikers who like to point their finger on the map and leave without stopping when the asphalt ends. Guzzi say they’re put a lot of effort into satisfying a broad spectrum of human anatomies; they claim the riding position suits 90% of the population. Ride quality from the KYB suspension is excellent – tight and controlled enough to manage the TT’s weight without diving on the sharp brakes, yet supple and sloshy enough to gloop noisily over bigger bumps. Notably, it’s still shaft-drive in true Guzzi style, making it the only mid-sized adventure bike with that maintenance-free drive system.

As long as there’s enough go in the engine to make decent progress – and 80bhp is enough for an indicated 120mph top speed, ahem – then what matters is how that engine feels: is it a pleasant mechanical device to use?Oh yes indeed, it very much is. It’s now a signature Guzzi engine character, since BMW engineered out the same effect on their liquid-cooled Boxer twins – but it’s no longer severe enough to upset the V85 TT while riding. • Shaft drive protection: Created with very thick steel tubes, it protects the shaft drive in case of a … You can delete or block all cookies but some parts of the website will not work./bikesocial/news-and-views/news/2018/blank-folder-keep-empty/moto-guzzi-2019-v85tt-eicma-showbikesocial/news-and-views/News/2018/Blank folder KEEP EMPTY/moto-guzzi-2019-v85tt-eicma-showWriting about bikes for 20 years.

The 2019 Moto Guzzi V85 TT blends classic styling with modern tech. Description Brand Features About … Welcome to the launch of Moto Guzzi’s V85 TT – TT stands for Tutto Terreno – and, if you can hear the sounds of hairs being split, it’s because they are. The average consumption during a fairly up-tempo test ride showed between 48 and 55mpg; that’s a tank range of over 250 miles.
Vibes are throbby not tingly; 80mph sits the engine bang-on at 5000rpm, which is where peak torque lives and means there’s enough grunt left to pull a cheeky overtake or two. The two-tone bikes also come with a suede seat cover, Michelin Anakee Adventure tyres instead of Metzeler Tourances and a red frame, but are otherwise identical to the single colour models. Touring – Aluminium top box and panniers with over 100-litres of capacity, tall screen, LED fog lights, engine bars, centre stand and Moto Guzzi’s Bluetooth module. The sound of damping oil circulating around the forks – or fork; one has the damping; the other has the spring – is plainly audible over potholes and humps. • Moto Guzzi exhaust by Arrow: homologated in titanium with a heat protection cover, support clamp and carbon end cap. ABS is present and correct, but unintrusive. Hectic it is not.Ground clearance is very limited though – the pegs, even without hero blobs, deck out at fairly moderate angles of lean and given the chassis general friendliness, it’s the one handling quirk that could, potentially, catch an enthusiastic rider out. Fits with Standard, Arrow or Remus exhausts. So it’s no surprise the electronics are rudimentary. But with its ground clearance, I’m not sure it actually needs to. With the bikini screen (adjustable for tilt, not height; taller options are available but could add to head buffeting, depending on your dimensions), offering classic sports tourer wind protection – directing wind onto the rider’s chest to support bodyweight, and leaving heads un-buffeted – the TT is pretty close to ideal. And don’t ask me why, but I like it. Cookies improve the functionality of our website and offer you the best experience. The V85 TT comes with one of the largest tank capacity-to-engine size ratios; with 23 litres and 853cc, only BMW’s F850GS adventure rivals it – with, coincidentally, 853cc and 23 litres.
There are also three optional ‘packs’ available: Touring, Sport and Urban. Published in dozens of titles on five continents.

The suspension offers 170mm of travel at each end, with 41mm USD forks and a direct action monoshock, both adjustable for preload and rebound. Starting with the clocks, the TT has a TFT screen – graphics are a nice shade of blue, unless you don’t like blue (there’s no option to change it). But with only 80bhp on tap, as opposed to 94bhp, it’s tempting to assume the Guzzi will use its fuel more frugally. For information including how to stop them, click
