• Ciao Guest, The owner of this website and GTMotoCycles.com lost his home completely on the morning of January 8th in the L.A. Wildfire Storm. Most of his neighborhood is gone, and a few friends were killed along with their pets. The GTM SHOP and STORE are functioning normally, but we DEMAND EXTREME PATIENCE on orders as we are a SMALL business and Todd usually has his hands on nearly every order before it goes out. You can find more info on a post named L.A. Wildfires in the USA section. Our heart and best go out to everyone in this horrific disaster.

V85TT Registry and pic thread

2021 85 Evocative
First reg Feb 2022
ZGUKYA006MM003407
Had 4,500ks on it when I bought it.
Came with plenty of extras -
Headlight guard / lower front wheel hugger / engine guards / pivot pegs/ full flow exhaust / sports muffler / DNA air filter / rear hugger / rear luggage plate and top box.
I have since fitted a Caponord front wheel guard and the GPS mount off my old GS800, so I am running a Garmin Nav 5 on the bike.
This is my first Guzzi and I think it's a great little bike, it's doing half/ half dirt & road and solo and 2 up.
I also added Bumot soft panniers and rack.

I took possession of my 2020 V85TT A on August 1st, 2023 Vin# ZGUKWU002LM000476 Yellow. Purchased from a private party in Lakewood Colorado. The owner has done many upgrades, Olins and Andreani Group Fork Cartridge, RB Eco fuel kit and SAS block offs, DNA Air Filter, tubeless wheels, and many more add ons. Day two of my ride home from Lakewood to Hereford AZ I clicked off 567 miles. I am currently 5 months out of major back surgery. I think I am sold on this bike. My wife is jealous because she can't wipe the smile off my face.

Here are a couple of pictures.

Looks like you picked up a great bike, lots of $$ spent on extras👍
 
Hey all, I'm really happy to be part of this group since you have the expertise and advice I need! I have had almost every brand of adventure bike out there and all have pro's and cons. I just got a V85TT two weeks ago and I am really happy with it. Both bike pics are included!

Great to be here!

Greetings, This is my 2020 V85TT Travel purchased November 2021; VIN: ZGUKWUA06LM000155. I relocated her from the cold winters of Indiana to the heat and humidity of Mississippi. I've owned many dirt bikes through the years but this is my first street bike.

Why did I wait so long? What an amazing bike. I'm hooked.

Finally getting around to adding my VIN and a pic, didn't really feel like mine until I got the the dealer to send the right title to the DMV, anyway it's VIN: ZGUKYUB04PM000329. Rode it to the dealer for the break in service 200 miles away yesterday morning, saw 34° F on the dash a couple different times(heated grips FTW), 70° F on the return. Alarmingly expensive for 2 and a half hours of checks and cleaning IMO anyway here's the bike:

Edit: forgot to include my town and date of purchase, Bozeman, Montana, DoP was 6-28-23. Cheers!

My favorite paint job! Congratulations and Welcome!
 
I now have a lot of reading to do on this part of the web site. I've had a great experience with the Mandello and I've been very happy with Gateway Cycles in Mt. Sterling, Kentucky. I bought my second Moto Guzzi this morning. It's a 2023 V85 TT Guardia d'Onore. It will be delivered later tonight. I have big plans for the new bike tomorrow.

The first thing I need to learn is how to pronounce d'Onore. I know very little Italian.

Black will be tough to keep clean. But for the price, it's hard to beat the Guardia d'Onore with all the accessories. This will now be my primary bike for getting groceries. With the big bags, I can get the groceries for a whole week in one trip.

I think I'll be putting about 7000 miles per year on the bike. It should handle gravel better than the Mandello. I'll use it for commuting, errands, and exploring the local back roads. The Mandello will be used the same way, but I'll do some touring on the Mandello and it won't see much gravel. The Honda will still be the bike for the longer tours.
