I'm thinking a V-Strom would be a more fair comparison..... but of course the V85 has no equal.

This is the only one I would say... and I have a long list of reasons personally why I’d never own one.
That is what I am waiting for... with lower seat than current V85
May I ask if GuzziTech has dyno- runs on the new V85 engine? True HP and torque curves?
Not yet. Trying to get some break-in miles on it first.
How about a Baja version. Bigger front wheel, more ground clearance.
Or the opposite, smaller wheels, lowered suspension, lots of coloured LED lights and make a low rider.

I have a QD exhaust and Y piece on mine. It came with a detachable 25mm muffler which was to quite and didn't produce any sort of throatiness. Without baffle opening was 50mm and to loud. I had a baffle made at 33mm opening, sounds perfect, and runs very nicely.

And the hits keep on coming......!
I'm all about tan bikes. I always loved the ducati sport classic in that tan and black. This bike is great looking, wonder what they do to make it a "travel" model.
Moto Guzzi V85 TT Travel
Following the critical and public acclaim achieved by the V85 TT, the first classic travel enduro that knew how to excite motorcyclists thanks to its ability to combine sophisticated and evocative style with cutting-edge technical qualities, Moto Guzzi presents the Travel version, ready to take to the road with its complete dedicated range of equipment. Featuring, as standard, a higher Touring windshield, a pair of very spacious panniers, a set of heated hand grips, a pair of additional LED lights, and the Moto Guzzi MIA multimedia platform that allows a smartphone to be connected to the vehicle, extending the instrument cluster functions. The Sabbia Namib colour is exclusively dedicated to V85 TT Travel.
That sounds great.

That is available now for all V85s. The question is it included with the package and the stated price?
It sounded like it would (finally) be included... as it should be on all versions really. Silly that they try to charge more for it.
My wife, Jane and I attended the Motorcycle Live Show in Birmingham, UK today. The new V85TT Travel looks very smart in its new livery.
A few pictures from the Piaggio stand.

if anybody else sees this look to see if the bag mounts are the same as for the big aluminum panniers. if so will it be easier to get a leg over these?

Just got it firing!
I placed an order for one @ the Calgary Motorcycle show just over a month ago. No word from the dealer on possible delivery dates, but I have ordered a bunch of accessories for it
