That bike is the whip! Just imagine that with V85TT engine and 80ish HP at the rear wheel. Take my money!Tripped over this drawing… I love it

Read up here, it’s all well talked about. You’ll see the engine is largely the same. It’s mainly the large throttle body/ECU that’s the difference.Either marketing is protecting the higher performance models or engineers or testers didn’t like the way the bike rode with the V85 engine.
One of the magazine articles said it had a pressed up crank and that was why the redline was lower. That’s a design expense.Read up here, it’s all well talked about. You’ll see the engine is largely the same. It’s mainly the large throttle body/ECU that’s the difference.
It is. A larger throttle body would deliver more power. List your resume here so I know who I'm speaking with.

Indeed, and not a perhaps, count on it. It is a lower price-point vehicle compared to the V85TT. Everyone says use the V85TT motor and raise the price, but that's laymen logic. Clearly they have their reasons. We do not, and will likely never, have a Rep saying anything on record.I understand a larger throttle body would deliver more power. It also lowers intake air velocity which can have other effects. They apparently intentionally designed a different (weaker) crankshaft to go with the lower power. Perhaps to save production cost. Do we have a Guzzi factory representative on record saying why?
Thanks. I always look forward to learning from those more knowledgeable in their fields. We have many show up here and voice opinions over fact, and then get mad when I call them out on it. I just prefer to live in real world factual data, and I work tirelessly here to try and keep it that way. Look forward to more of your posts.A short resume.
