Moto Guzzi V85 TT 2024

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.

Honda XL750 Transalp 2023

Honda XL750 Transalp 2023

The Transalp had to prove itself in several tests at 1000PS in 2023. Surprisingly, it scored particularly well in the pillion test on Tenerife. Its accessible nature makes motorcycling easy. You can enjoy the ride and the landscape. The machine offers a surprising amount of sportiness with a very accessible character. All in all, the Transalp is a great all-rounder.

Sporty engine that is also very accessible Wonderfully easy-to-operate engine with butter-smooth clutch

Engine feels very revvy

Precise transmission

great comfort and plenty of space for pillion

Sporty engine - yet low fuel consumption

Switches and dashboard are generally robust

Economical engine

good price/performance ratio

great stability

strong practicality

Driver assistance systems have to manage without IMU - therefore very defensive control

Suspension offers too little adjustment range

no cruise control available
