Pros and Cons in comparison

Moto Guzzi V85 TT 2024

Do owners of an older V85 TT now have to switch? Of course not, but the extensive changes for the 2024 model year were sensible, the engine looks a little more "grown-up" and the lean angle-dependent Advanced Rider Assistance Systems are beneficial to riding safety. All in all, the classically beautiful Moto Guzzi V85 TT - or Strada and TT Travel - is still a wonderful touring motorbike that feels most at home on the road and is made for relaxed cruising, although it can also take corners with real agility and of course also masters easier off-road passages. All this, combined with its iconic appearance and the unique selling point in its vehicle class of a low-maintenance cardan transmission, make it a real alternative in the mid-range enduro and adventure touring segment.

Pleasant, present V2 engine

good sound

contemporary Advanced Rider Assistance Systems

well-tuned riding modes

easy-care cardan drive

ready for easier off-road passages

cruise control as standard

unmistakable, timelessly beautiful look

harmonious, linear steering behaviour

high grip and traction

robust and reliable design

comfortable seating position

intuitive TFT display

suitable for long distances

riding experience full of character.

Relatively high weight in relation to power

no quickshifter available

not made for tougher off-road

sluggish handling at low speeds

clutch requires a lot of manual force

noticeable load change reactions

limited knee room for taller riders

searching for neutral in the transmission is sometimes a bit annoying

Moto Guzzi V7 Sport 2025

Moto Guzzi has done a lot of things right with the reorientation of the V7. The changes to the engine for Euro5+ deserve great praise, because not only has the typical character of the air-cooled V2 been retained, but there is now significantly more torque and power available, especially in the mid-range. The fact that the V7 Sport even has a 6-axle IMU with cornering ABS is a perfect match for the new 320 mm double disc brake, which raises the V7's brakes by two classes. What remains are the relatively stiff shocks and the LC dashboard, which does not suit the V7 Special as well as the previous analogue clocks. All in all, the V7 2025 series is a great success.

Motor can be used very well over the entire range

brakes good in both bite and modulation

unmistakable character

Lacklustre LC display

"Wooden" shocks
