Greetings from Carmel, California! I've just acquired a well-maintained 2021 V85TT Centenario edition with 15K miles.

This is my first Adventure bike, and I fell prey to the usual urge to buy the market leader, a BMW R1250GS. But the prices were sky-high, even for older models of the GS. Moto Guzzi seemed better-looking and offered far greater value for my money. When one turned up on the local market, I jumped at the chance to join the ranks of Guzzi owners.

I attempted to post a photo but don't seem to be able to upload photographs. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong?

I look forward to learning from you and riding with anyone in the region. If you have tips and tricks you'd like to share with a new owner, please don't hesitate to post them here or reach out.

Cheers, Mike

Welcome. I know you will like the Centenario. I rode a GS1250 from Anchorage, AK to Portland, OR a few years ago so I have enough experience to compare them. The V85 is lighter and makes significantly better fuel mileage. The GS has more power, but the V85 has enough for my needs.

Cheers,
Gerry

Congrats and welcome to the GT Forum & Guzzi Famiglia if it's your first(?!). Please add it to our Registry below. In that section, you'll see how I can extract 30% more power, better gas mileage and have it run much cooler.
We're having an issue with the photo uploads today... hopefully we'll get it sorted soon. I'll post again when we do. Enjoy the site and the bike otherwise, sure you will. Cheers.
