Moto Guzzi V85 TT 2019

Križanec med potovalnimi enduri izžareva udobje in suverenost. Njegov gromozanski motor V2 se dobro in prizanesljivo premika. Dobro delujeta tudi podvozje in zavore. Za ekstremne terenske razmere je prav tako neprimeren kot v rokah zloglasnih brusačev kolen. Moto Guzzi V 85 TT rad opravlja svoje poti na prefinjen in udoben način, tudi za daljše ture pa s svojim kardanskim pogonom in ergonomijo ponuja dovolj praktičnega udobja. Poleg tega je videti senzacionalno in sporoča čustva. Edina stvar, ki bi si jo nekateri od naših testerjev želeli, je nekaj več konjev od njegovih 80 KM.
