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.
