Just got it firing!
I’m considering buying my first Moto Guzzi (it will be my 60th bike)and initially focused on the new V7 850 as I have a Royal Enfield Himalayan for off road. The V7 850 is a beautiful bike and would replace the Royal Enfield Interceptor I just sold, But I keep looking at the V85TT because it is so unique looking and just stunning in the various color combinations. Plus it comes with bags and windshield which I would have to add to the V7 which would bring the price closer to the V85TT.
So it comes down to which bike would be a better all around street bike. I haven’t ridden either one yet since the closest dealer is 6-7 hours away and we’re in a 100+ degree heat wave and socked in with smoke from all the forest fires around us. (I’m in southern Oregon).
So while I’m waiting for everything to get back to normal, I thought I could reach out and get some feedback from any of you out there who have ridden both models.
Keep in mind that I don’t need feedback about how the V85 is off road. It would only be used on the street. If you’re a V85TT owner and have never ridden a V7, then you’re welcome to tell me the pros and cons of the bike on the street as compared to any other comparable street bikes you’ve owned. I would appreciate only hearing from people who have actual saddle time on the bikes and not general opinions from inexperienced people. Also, I want the comparison with the new V7 850 not the previous generation of V7’s as it supposedly has a much improved ride quality, better comfort and more power making it more comparable to the V85TT.
Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you guys/gals.
