- A few clips of the Moto Guzzi V85TT in the Wyoming back country.
Bike is completely stock performance wise. It has a few small accessories such as crash bars, wind screen, deflectors, and heated grips.
All footage is with the bike fully loaded for my WY BDR trip.
Great to see a fellow V85TT going off road, I spend 40-50% of my time on dirt tracks with mine.
Way to go! You have courage and persistence. Congratulations.
I am in love with the V85 TT and it is probably at the top of my list for my next motorcycle. The only thing holding me back was could it handle a BDR so I appreciate your video. I have some loooong miles to get to get to most of the BDR's (I live on the east coast) so I need something comfy for the roads but can manage at least easy to moderate trails. I currently have a 2018 Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports and at my skill level it is WAY to big, hell I don't even love it on the road because it's so tall and top heavy. I also have a CRF300L Rally which I love, but not to go halfway cross the country on in a timely fashion. The V85 TT may be one of the only adventure motorcycles I love for its looks as much as its ability and value point.
I have been very happy with the V85 so far. I rode it about 900 miles of highway in one day and was pretty comfortable. It seems to cruise about 70 (76ish on speedo) well. Off road it is certainly not a dirt bike but has been very manageable. A few times in more technical stuff I have found myself wishing for deeper gearing in first but have so far always made it through. I feel it provides phenomenal bang for your buck and I think its a pretty sweet looking bike! Definitely a conversation starter.
I sold my Africa Twin and bought a dedicated road bike. Then I bought a smaller bike for off-road, but not touring.
Great video, but next time could you dump the music. I wanted to hear the motor as you were lugging down those trails. Its one of the best parts of a Guzzi. The Sound!!
