Moto Guzzi V85 TT Travel 2020

Moto Guzzi V85 TT Travel 2020

With the V85 TT Travel, Moto Guzzi impressively demonstrates how modernity can be combined with tradition, just as with the conventional V85 TT. Typical stylistic elements are skilfully reminiscent of the almost 100-year-old Heritage, the Travel's noble Sabbia Namib paint finish fits in perfectly, while the state-of-the-art technology ensures that the V85 TT is a credible touring enduro. The engine convinces with a lot of sovereignty instead of pointed sportiness, the handling is neutral and good-natured and the off-road talents are remarkable. Added to this is the well-tied electronics package, excellent brakes and successful ergonomics. The travel package has been well thought out with a set of luggage, larger windshield, heated grips, LED auxiliary headlights and multimedia system MIA - and the cardan, which is unique in this class, makes the Travel the ideal travel companion!
