The 2023 Moto Guzzi V85TT Combines Class With Adventure
Contents
The Moto Guzzi V85TT line, which was first announced in 2017, has been a unique entrant among the Moto Guzzi family. The bike’s rugged adventure styling contrasts heavily with Moto Guzzi’s typical styling. The biggest update for 2023 is the introduction of a new trim offering among the TT’s ranks called “Adventure”.
The TT suffix on the end of the bike’s name refers to “Tutto Terrano” or, if you don’t speak Italian – All Terrain. The V85 truly does live up to that name, featuring a wide variety of Adventure-ready specs, such as hand protectors, a metal skid plate on the bottom of the engine, and a high-mounted front fender.
An 853cc air-cooled V-Twin engine is at the heart of this Italian adventure companion, producing an apparent 76 hp and 60.4 lb-ft of torque. That power is translated into movement by way of a six-speed gearbox and hits the ground through a set of spoked wheels wrapped in knobby tires that should be able to handle anything thrown at them – 19” in the front and 17” in the rear.
Both the front forks and the rear monoshock feature adjustable extensions and preload.
2023’s V85TT is available for purchase in four different model offerings – The standard V85TT, Travel, The brand new adventure model, and the limited production Guardia d’Onore. Each model is relatively similar and runs off the same overall platform, however, each has some unique goodies that make them each special.
The Travel model gets a touring windshield, central kickstand and tire pressure monitoring system. Adventure comes with an aluminum top box and side cases, along with a striking paint job, and the Guardia d’Onore comes with everything those other models have, as well as a unique livery, additional LED lighting, and a 1/1946 engraved number plaque.
The 2023 Moto Guzzi V85TT starts at $12,190 USD/ $14,190 CAD
