Moto Guzzi V85 TT For Sale
What Is It?
The Moto Guzzi V85 is a premium shaft driven adventure bike and is powered by a Euro 4 compliant air-cooled 853 cc transversely mounted 90° V-Twin engine, producing 79.1 bhp at 7,750 rpm and maximum torque at 5,000 rpm (90% from just 3,750 rpm).
Features include:
- Steel tubular frame with Aluminium swingarm
- Dual 320 mm discs up front with Brembo four piston calipers
- 260 mm disc at the rear with two piston caliper
- Continental ABS system
- Adjustable 41 mm upside down fork with 170 mm travel
- Adjustable rear piggyback shock with 170 mm travel
- Ride Modes: Road, Rain, Off-Road
- Traction control
- Cruise control
- Belly pan
- Luggage rack
- Side stand
- USB charging port to left of dash
- LED indicators with auto-off
- 6 speed gearbox with gear position indicator
Power makes its way to the rear wheel via shaft drive and while the engine clearly shares some history with the V9 lump it's a brand new design which is, quite remarkably, still air-cooled.
It's a big step for Moto Guzzi who will be using it as a platform for a whole family of new bikes going forward and equipment is pretty up to date with a large 4.3" colour TFT dash, LED running light and adjustable levers. Off-Road mode minimises traction control and turns off the ABS system at the rear.
The 19" wire-spoked front wheel takes a Metzeler Tourance 110/80 tyre at the front and a 17" 150/70 at the rear.
Accessories include the Aluminium luggage system, Ohlins rear shocks, multimedia system, upgraded mirrors, LED fog lights, crash bars, tall screen, centre stand and the usual Arrow exhaust system.
