Moto Guzzi V85 TT 2022

Moto Guzzi V85 TT 2022

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

You don't feel uncomfortable off-road with the GS, but it shouldn't be quite so rough for it either. The BMW scores the most points with its perfect ergonomics, superb brakes, tight chassis and unique boxer handling, complete with a deep, rasping soundtrack.

Successful wind protection

extremely comfortable ergonomics

optimal saddle

precise chassis

sharp sound.

Transmission could be smoother

engine power rather low.
