Moto Guzzi
V85 TT
The V85 TT adapts Moto Guzzi's iconic transverse 90-degree V-twin to the adventure segment with shaft drive and a 5.5-gallon fuel tank — a 507-lb package that stands apart from every parallel-twin and boxer rival for its engine character and Italian style. Limited suspension travel and a lower 32.7-inch seat make it a road-biased ADV; this is a touring-first adventure bike for riders who value character over off-road performance.
