Pros and Cons in comparison

Triumph Street Scrambler 2017

Extremely coherent machine with a very wide range of uses and a great experience factor.

Very harmonious appearance

perfectly fitting engine

unexpectedly good off-road performance

Footrests touch down relatively early on the road

Moto Guzzi V85 TT 2019

The cruiser among the touring enduros radiates cosiness and sovereignty. Its thundering V2 engine moves well and forgivingly. The chassis and brakes also work well. It is just as ill-suited to extreme off-road situations as it is in the hands of notorious knee-grinders. The Moto Guzzi V 85 TT likes to do its rounds in a refined and comfortable manner, and even for longer tours it offers enough practical comfort with its cardan drive and ergonomics. On top of that, it looks sensational and conveys emotion. The only thing some of our testers would like is a few more horses than its 80 hp.

Cosy, forgiving V2 engine

great sound

good decelerating brakes

very iconic, beautiful exterior

suitable for light off-road terrain

easy-care cardan drive

some of our editors would like to see more sportiness and performance

unsuitable for harder off-road tracks

driving in a standing position difficult for taller pilots
