Moto Guzzi V85TT "Travel" | First Impressions

Well done. California Scientific makes windshields for this bike in 5 different heights if the buffeting is a problem. I have one on my Norge and it's wonderful.

P.S. We have bicycle paths that are wider than some of those roads!

Ahh that is worth knowing, ta :-)
 
The ride seems quite nice, I can't really compare it to my V7 though as I have K-Tech fork cartridges on the front and Hagons on the rear on my V7. I can't really remember anymore what my V7 was like when it was standard
 
Great video - thanks! I have to admit, I'm smitten with the V85TT, and I do particularly like the livery of the Travel version. I test rode one myself, recently (very sort ride, sadly) but did enjoy it. So far, I'm using the excuse of "lack of sufficient garage space" to keep me from opening the wallet for one, but... if I can figure out how to fit it in, I really would like one for myself

Thanks JW :-)
It is a lovely bike, this one had an issue though, a nut had worked loose and was causing the ticking noise that got worse as my ride progressed, hasn't put me off though! :-)
 
I am very lucky where I live, I can go in any direction and have roads like this or better within a couple of miles from home! :-)
