V85TT Registry and pic thread

Decided I needed an adventure bike for touring so road tested a Tiger 800, Honda Africa Twin and V85TT. The only one that I rode which gave me a beaming smile was the Guzzi so I bought this girl and it is perfect. Just need to add a couple of accessories and then a tour of Spain is planned for later in the year.
I have owned Guzzi's since 1984 so they do run in my blood :cool:

Thanks Bill! Indeed a perfect campanion.
 
I have a V85TT Giallo Sahara, 2019 which I bought around one and a half month ago with 9200 km on the clock. It's my first Moto Guzzi.
VIN: ZGUKWA004KM002601
It's equipped with a Zart exhaust, central stand, heated grips, comfort seat. I also have the Urban panniers.

So far I've driven some 2300 km and are super happy with it (despite coming from a Ducati Multistrada 1100) !

I finally got her home! Purchased 28 June at CTX Motoworks in San Antonio. They're a newer-ish dealer that's still finding their way with Piaggio (Guzzi and Aprilia), and Triumph and Ducati. Parts department is a little lacking, but the sales people and GM were great to me.

VIN: ZGUKYUA03PM000968

Still working on a name, but just rolled over 100mi on the clock, all but 7 of them are mine. Planning for engine bars, center stand, driving lights, a bar bag, Barkbusters, Wind Rider seat cover, heated grips, and maybe a MadStad windscreen. Also upgrading the air filter to a K&N, and opening up the airbox cover. Eventually, when the budget recovers, I'd like to delete the cat with a Y-pipe (for cooling...I am in S. Texas after all), and maybe do a slip-on and an engine tune.

Super happy with her so far...very comfortable and capable. Definitely a worthy replacement for my previous ADV bike (BMW G310GS).

Cheers!!

Also, looking back through this thread...wondering if this is the first Blu Uyuni posted here?

Purchased at Vespa of Gainesville, FL. Edwin in sales is very nice and helpful, and Victor, who runs the service department, is the kindest, sincerest, most thorough Moto professional I’ve encountered in decades. I highly recommend Victor as a Guzzi tech and professional. IMG_3316.webpIMG_3331.webp
I’m keeping the bike stock, and most likely will remain as such. IMG_3505.webp
 
Picked up this beauty brand new yesterday. It’s joining my jackal and the wifey V35. Done 350 km on it and enjoyed every single one of it.

Just doing some research for larger windscreen
