nice video mukka enjoyed that

Both…..sorry!

A great motorcycle. I drove about 30,000 kilometers with it for 2 years. In March I will exchange the motorcycle for a new Trident. with sport mode and a quickshifter. The yellow one❗👍🏼

Thanks for the video! A beautiful bike. I wish it had better brakes and a more modern, yet round, TFT. A double cluster TFT gauge would be great to keep the traditional looks and provide useable GPS functions.

Beautiful bike. Not quite sold to swap out the Griso.. but Guzzi is all about the quirks... some hated, some loved. Great video.

2020 v85 tt bought in June with 6400k on it. 10,250 now. Bought it for ease of maintaining and 300lb lighter than what I'd been on. 2 1/2 hrs for my first valve adj, guessing 1 1/2 next time. Cheap windsheild deflector and made some deflectors for between tank and bars. Eliminated turbulence. Bike handles great compared to the slaveships I've been pushing around corners for the past 50 yrs. 27 yrs on my 62 FLH and 23 on a '99 Ultra. Great dependable bikes for me doing my own work on them. Spent an 11 hr day on it (not normal for me these days) and was amazed at the comfort. 51 mph on reg gas at 70mph. Love the bike.

As a v100s owner I agree with your summary. I have travelled 22,000klm in 5 months and had zero issues with reliability, love this bike and will not be changing any time soon.

If you are in the area again during summer time - you might want to head to the Tattershall Thorpe Visitor Centre where 617 Squadron was based after RAF Scampton, when they bombed the Tirpitz in Tromoso Fjord. Great video by the way :)

Next time you are in the area grab a coffee at the Petwood Hotel, Woodhall Spa. It was the wartime home of 617 Squadron and has a bar with photos and memorabilia dedicated to them.

Good commentary, Alan! I have a '22 which I bought new in April '23, nearly 17k miles now on it. I've never had a problem with the neutral to first shift, but occasionally it's hard to find N from 1st. On your other major nitpicks, I agree - the stock windscreen is terrible at speed, even worse in the upper position. I've tried 2 aftermarket with only slight improvement. Both noise and buffeting are more than I'd like. I also agree with your other point, it's pretty top heavy and a beast paddling around. Have to pay attention at stop lights and signs too! With a passenger it was nearly unmanageable. Otherwise I love it! Could use more power, but what bike couldn't?! Finally, I think they sorted the fueling problems, mine is really good.

Good video Lincolnshire roads great for bikes, some interesting facts RAF Ingham is definately worth a visit but totally reliant on volunteers which is why it only opens on certain days of the week.

A few holes in your commentary. Soon after Hemswell you passed former RAF Ingham, which now features a museum and memorial to Polish airmen stationed there. The graveyard at Scampton includes a small row of CWGC headstones marking the resting place of the nine man crew of a German aircraft. Just round the corner is the Dambusters public house, so named for obvious reasons. Also, the unfortunate individuals who cross the channel in small boats are not illegal immigrants unless they stay on after refusal of their asylum application, despite what Daily Mail "disinformation" may suggest.

Interesting, the boots you show last, I have the Rokker Urban Rebel, very similar genuine goodyear welt construction. I recommend you take a look. Also you probably know, pants need to be long in the leg, so when seated on the bike they are not too short, I recommend 2" longer than your suit pants.

A V85TT is not top heavy. A Yamaha TDM 850 is Top heavy. All small Guzzi’s tend to fall in the corner even old V65 of V50 Monza have it. Just let it roll and accelerate out of the corner. Love my 2019 but replaced Catalysator bij Y tube, that cuts down the heat accumulation and output!! No gear problems with mine, adjust the clutch or gear selector to find the sweet spot!

TT 🏁🏁🏁 Philip mcalan

Great review what do you think about the kick that you get when you go in first gear.. it was quite a push forward.. I have got a v7 850 and it doesn’t do that at all.. I was surprised by the]at quirk

I'm in Ontario Canada our new bike show is in February. I'll be ordering a 2025 trident. I bought my first bike in July 1976 it was a 74 Kawasaki H1 definitely not a starter bike I had to learn fast.

Try ZX1 in the engine oil and fuel tank.

I have a '23 V7 Stone Special Edition, and a '24 V100 Mandello Aviazione Navale (my sixth and seventh Guzzis over the last 40 years). Riding these bikes back-to-back is like night and day. The V7 has a smoother transmission, and yes, my V100 "clunks" going into first gear from a stop. I have the big-bore Agostini headers, y-pipe (no cat), and Mistral muffler with the dB killer still in it on the V100. I haven't noticed any "hunting" like you mentioned, but I've only put 300 miles on my V100 over the last five months. Here in the States, I think there are less than 30 Guzzi dealers for the whole country, so it's not a bike you're likely to see another one of riding around. Luckily for me, I have a Guzzi dealer about an hour away, so that's a definite plus. Guzzis are certainly niche bikes, and won't win any comparison tests on paper with competitors from Japan, Italy, UK, or Germany. But if you want a bike that oozes character, has "soul", and will make you smile every time you ride it, I'd highly recommend a Guzzi. I would absolutely buy either one of my Guzzis again!

I’ve been ironing one of these bikes to add to my collection because they look so stunning. Thank you for your in-depth review.

Mine is great! ❤

I've had an RC24, 2x 36, 2x 46, an early vtech and now the RC79 800F (not to mention Pan 11 and 13). Fi was the best and regret selling both ! The 2016 800F is clearly more modern, brakes are a huge improvement, it has some electronics and refined vtech, but its still just an Fi revisited. Power is subjective to say the least, there is nothing gutless about any of them and not having huge torque allows decent control in poor conditions without needing any fancy electronics. Overall, the reason most people ride a VFR of any era is not from comparing it to other bikes, it's purely the experience of a fine piece of engineering and a glorious engine. Any bike is relevant if you enjoy it.

Had a GS1200, this is a feather in comparison…. and my gears shifts as smooth as butter, first and neutral included, but I have had it since 2019 and treated my gears shifting with care….

Great bike, btw how tall you are?

Makes me feel better I bought one just from the videos 😎 thanks so much

It looks like an italian VFR. I want one.

This will probably be my next bike if I fit on it. The more I see the more I like! I've got a Rocket right now but I think the Trident will be a great addition. These modern Triumphs are hitting it out of the park.

Great review, I've owned a few fireblades over the years including the 919, but never owned a VFR, I've found one on marketplace and I'm seriously considering buying it, thanks for the well thought out and informative information.

I’ve had the S version for 1 year too. It was in the shop for 1 month to replace a coolant pipe that had a pinhole leak in it. Otherwise, I haven’t experienced any other problems with the motorcycle. I really like it and I don’t have any buyers remorse. It’s a joy to ride! It’s my left calf that cooks a little on very hot days and I’m working on something to help with that. I agree that the fuel range indicator shouldn’t be relied upon. I refuel every 180-200 miles. The lurch forward when engaging 1st gear is just a Guzzi character trait lol. The Ohlins suspension delivers a superb ride! I have 7,800 miles on the bike. I did have to install a California Scientific large windscreen to make it suitable for all day trips. My average fuel economy is 50 miles per US gallon.

On-bike audio too muffled.

Nice review! I am a 60 year old owner of a 23' Trident. I started out on minibikes as a 7 year old and have been riding ever since. I've owned scores of bikes, and there are not many bikes I haven't at the least, taken a spin on. As an off the shelf bike, in my opinion, the Trident is as good as it gets. Sure, you can always find little things that could be tweaked on any bike... but as top tier daily rider/back road carver, the Trident is hard to beat. I will echo the sentiment that the quick shift/auto blipper is a must have option; aside from that, the bike is as close to perfect as an all arounder gets. The bike loves to be ridden with purpose. It absolutely shines when you keep it above 4k rpm. You paid for 10k revs so use them. When I hear reviewers complaining about throttle response; well, that just tells me that they don't know how to ride and shift a triple. Do not baby the 3 cylinder, because that is not how they work. One thing that you forgot to mention? Triumph included a slipper clutch to protect you from botched shifts and allow you to aggressively downshift with ease. The TC is basic and not too obtrusive. It does its job and keeps things tidy while allowing a good rider to push the bike without noticeable interference. You can certainly turn it off, but you are taking away from the overall capability of bike. MotoGP rides TC and so should you. Don't even get me started on anyone who claims that 80 hp in this trim is not enough. The Trident is not a track bike, that is not what it was designed for. The Trident is what a naked bike is supposed to be. The Trident is also not really a beginner bike as I have seen some reviews claim. I would suggest that someone should spend time on a much more tame (forgiving) machine as their first road bike. This motorcycle allows a less, but still, experienced rider to have an enjoyable, confidence inspiring ride while offering an experienced rider a highly capable machine that can be pushed hard. The bike is weaponized fun.

Or sure when the satin/matt paint started but I don’t like anything about it

Best bike out there. I'd love one.

I am jumping from a 2012 speedmaster which i love but has become to heavy for me now Great video BTW

Its a shame about the lable "beginnerbike"it sets the bike in the category 18-25 years old riders that put it in high insurance class with high accsident frequency, not good for a experiensed older riders that want this bike

I love the way it looks and I kinda want a smaller bike (not getting rid of the Rocket though) but I haven't seen one in person. Would it be an ok fit for taller riders?

I've already read the "5 Things I Hate About My Fireblade" and now back to this video. Mine is 97 cbr900rr. I would tell you about the "uncomfortable" when you feel on your body with riding your 900rr. My point is that "Uncomfortable" roots from "lack of PROPER knee grip" Try it 😄

Thinking about buying one 1500$ 10 k miles

Omg new riders are spoilled for choice these days with these cheap low capacity machines 😊

Excellent, balanced, mature review. Thanks friend.

I had a 2021 V85TT. Agree with all your observations accept I didn't find the bike to be particularly top-heavy. Totally agree on the windscreen. I tried the aftermarket but never really found a screen that worked. Spoiled everything for me.

Hello! I advise you to lock the white balance on your camera, this to avoid the constant shifts in color temperature

There's a trick to first gear selection, pull in the clutch start to select first slightly letting the clutch lever out, not quite to bite point and bobs your uncle, I've owned two guzzis, both clunked into first,, I kept one, Breva 1100, for 17 years, only recently sold it,,

Great viideo review and I agree entirely I bought one new in May 2024 after a few years not riding bikes other than 100cc honda runabouts and after having various sports bikes ie. Gsxr suzuki and I find it excellent and different . I live in Catalonia Northern Spain and the climate and roads here are great for bikes ( hardly any potholes ! ) . I recomend it highly , take no notice of some of the STUPID comparisons to 1100 cc super bikes is like comparing a car to a bus get real .

Just bought one best bike I’ve ridden and I’ve had a fair few bikes in my 32 years of riding

It takes a little effort to get the V85 into neutral; but so what? The bike shifts beautifully compared to most of the bikes I've owned. I know better from experience than to depend on neutral lights. For me it's automatic to check whether the bike really is in neutral or still in gear. Even with the bikes like my Honda CB500F with close to perfect shifting it was still not 100%. It's just common sense.

Why didn't you choose for the original travel screen if you want a good windscreen?

Interesting review. I have a 2023 V100s. Pluses: I would add braking a a plus as well. Seat and riding position is comfortable for long rides. Excellent looking , functional and easy to mount luggage Cons:; Front fender allows road debris to coat the motor. No tail rack. I had an Aprilia Futura that had a high rev at idle and a clunk when shifting from N-1st. My thoughts are that the clutch plates clearance is minimal. Add transmission fluid viscosity and you get a drag on the clutch. Viscosity is slightly higher especially when it is cold. The clunk is more pronounced. The hgih revs maybe so that the motor doesnt stall. Just my thoughts. I love this bike. I added crash guards, tail rack, pyramid frnt fender extender, heli bar risers. GPS mount, Laminar lip, I also acquired from Guzzitech a compact wheel hub nut tool that works on front and rear wheels. I am in the process of decating . Agostini big bore headers and I will upmap.

I have a 2020 leftover. They do take a while to run in. Mine has gotten much nicer after 5k miles. I did add a spoiler to the screen and made a great difference. I also had it lowered 1 inch with a Hyper pro suspension kit. Handles fine, i have Metzlers on it.

So many professional reviewers said the V7 is "characterful". Journalistic shorthand for "quirky" or "odd" which might be seen as a negative review risking advertising revenue. As a word Characterful has no meaning. After all "bland" and "boring" is also a character traight. Having two 850 V7s I can say there is nothing ordinary about the V7, but the same is true of almost every other bike that is not a Japanese four ( nothing wrong with those but they all feel the same). Everything you say about the V7 is true including the starter delay which my bikes have. Yes there are some odd things about it and it is unlike any other bike I have owned in the past 60 years. However once you understand how it works and how to ride it, it is a complete joy.
