V85TT Moto Camping Pt3
Hey RUclipsrs! In this series of videos I take a ride down to the Lizard peninsular in the south west of the UK, crossing Dartmoor on the way, and spend some time riding around the back roads of Cornwall.
The V85TT takes it all in it's stride, whether on dual carriageway, A road, on twisty back roads, and whether loaded to the gunnels or not. The more I ride this bike the more it grows on me - super comfortable and very capable. Enjoy!

    I agree with your positive pillion assessment. My passenger is very happy with it. For even more comfort, I add a gel pad for her on long trips. I purchased the Guzzi comfort seat and find it is more comfortable for long distance riding. Btw, the top speed for my 2023 V85TT (stock) on a flat road with a slight headwind is 105 mph (true gps speed). It is nice to know that cruising at 75 mph does not tax the engine.

    • @edmoto4232
      @edmoto4232 2 месяца назад

      So far things seem good with the standard seat, but that's a useful tip ref the gel pad. I'd go with your assessment of top speed / cruising too - that matches my experience.

    In terms of refined responsive reliable performance and handling the 500F was the best bike I've ever owned. My knees however would no longer tolerate chain drive bikes hence the Guzzi. I was sad about the Honda until I experienced Guzzi handling stability and seat comfort. WOW! While still great, the Guzzi is less of a twistie road weapon but way more fun for the open road. It's a different kind of fun.

    • @davidphillips7255
      @davidphillips7255 3 месяца назад

      Like many stock bikes that are fundamentally excellent I found my 500F needed to be tweaked to show its true potential. EBC HH pads on the front, sticky sport touring Bridgestones running 34 in the front and 38 in the rear (-2F and -4 rear.) and the front softened from third ring on the front fork adjustment to second. These changes may sound small ; but the difference on the local Gold River road (mountain twisties) was stunning. It changed from a seemingly humble commuter to a back road weapon. Not boring at all.

    The green light is either the cruise control (if it's the green light on the left) or the day running light indicator (if it's the green light on the right). The gearbox isn't Japanese slick, but not as agricultural as some bikes I've had. Positive input is definitely required! 😂

Had my heart set on the Mandelllo which is a great bike, the V85 is more comfortable, I have heard the Mandello service charges are just eyewatering at 15k miles. The V85 is a little underpowered but has enough for real world riding, I was surprised how much I liked it. So it's between the two now and do I wait for the new 24 V85?? One way or another it's a Guzzi for me and I would happily own either bike. Congrats on the new bike 👍

    Congratulations on your decision, you won't regret it. 👍🏻👍🏻 I rode it as soon as it was launched in 2019 and was very impressed and excited. I just had concerns about its reliability. I had and still have a Kawasaki Versys 650 with almost 140,000 km on the clock without any problems. I then test drove several other motorcycles from 2019 - 2023 (Honda, KTM, Triumph) and after every test drive I only had the Guzzi in my head. 😂😂 last year in October, after a test drive with the Honda Transalp 750 😎😎 I bought the V85TT. 🥰🥰 also says a lot about the Honda...😎😎 I then drove almost 5000 km in Tuscany and Sardinia in 4 weeks. Every kilometer was pure fun. No other manufacturer has the charm and character of the Guzzi. No one who has never ridden one can understand that. 😉😉 best wishes from Bavaria and have fun with it...
