Looking forward to part 3! 👍

Great video really enjoyed it, and the bike didnt miss a beat👍

Very good video, dear Ed. Your stories are always very much relaxing for me. Greetings from Rome!

Nice ride. A lovely ice-cream place where the car turned at about 4:50 and worth a stop at either Haynes Museum or Teals at Sparkford for a coffee on your way back.

you should say that the real thing starts at minute 10 :)

Nice and relaxed ride. Just bought a V85TT in green. Subscribed and looking forward to your videos

I agree with your positive pillion assessment. My passenger is very happy with it. For even more comfort, I add a gel pad for her on long trips. I purchased the Guzzi comfort seat and find it is more comfortable for long distance riding. Btw, the top speed for my 2023 V85TT (stock) on a flat road with a slight headwind is 105 mph (true gps speed). It is nice to know that cruising at 75 mph does not tax the engine.

😊👍🙏

2023 Guardia. Love mine too. 8300 miles in 6-months. Never been back to the dealership for any issues. This could be my “forever “ bike.

Cosa pensi del decat Mistral? Collettori maggiorati, compensatore Y omologato e V Twin Boost?

Did the pillion rate the bike?

Having a decent response from the dealer makes all the difference between having a problem bike and just having a few niggles. Keeping an eye on how you get on as I'm considering of these for my next bike.

In terms of refined responsive reliable performance and handling the 500F was the best bike I've ever owned. My knees however would no longer tolerate chain drive bikes hence the Guzzi. I was sad about the Honda until I experienced Guzzi handling stability and seat comfort. WOW! While still great, the Guzzi is less of a twistie road weapon but way more fun for the open road. It's a different kind of fun.

How tall are you sir?

Would you say the Honda cb500x is boring bike? (I know they are brilliant)

You can change modes as you ride. Just don't have any throttle input. And toggle the modes with the mode switch (starter button) on the right.

Non utilizzi Moto Guzzi Mia pen la navigazione?

The green light is either the cruise control (if it's the green light on the left) or the day running light indicator (if it's the green light on the right). The gearbox isn't Japanese slick, but not as agricultural as some bikes I've had. Positive input is definitely required! 😂

What was that green light showing on the dash when you were making your way to the dealers. Also, just out of interest, is you gearbox clunky or as some would say "agricultural"?

Hi Ed you don’t have to stop to change ride modes. It is really a lovely bike, you will be addicted very soon 😊 greetings from Belgium

Moto Guzzi’s have got tons of character.

This is a beautiful , unique bike , ride safe mate

Hi ed can you please do a review after 10k please. Enjoy your new bike.

I'm currently riding a cb500x. Also considering a V85 as a replacement.

What a good choice. This bike is just different and put a smile on my face everytime I ride it. It is not perfect as 2023 version has a poor wind protection but nothing you couldn’t tackle properly with spare part. congrats for this purchase. Worths it

Nice video. I just picked one of these up last week. Mine has the shorter windscreen. What’s your impression of your windscreen’s protection? Thanks.

Traitor ! All she ever gave you was love..now look what you've done !

I like the look of that Guzzi you bought.

How are you getting along with it? I am considering the outgoing model and then doing a de cat, hi flow air filter, Vtwin boost and end can

Well done with your purchase, I do like the V85tt. I purchased a V7 stone in September last year rode it back home in hail storm 😵‍💫not a great first ride! but I have added 3000 miles on it since then, might I suggest joining the Moto Guzzi Club GB only £20 + £5 joining fee local branch meetings throughout the country a good mag + advice. Also it's been a good few years since I travel up & down the A303 with 44t fertilizer tanker lorries on my way to Devon & Cornwall farms, I don't miss the cars drivers trying to film StoneHenge on my side of the road though!!

Mr Ed how is it for two up on longer trip if you did test it ?

Really enjoyed the video - keep them coming!!

Hi great video, I was always concerned about reliability, what's it like on that front?

Doesn’t your travel have a centre stand? Didn’t notice one,thought that was included on the V85TT travel,great video really love the look of these.

Hi please do a detailed owners review when you get a decent miles on her. Thks

It became a bit of a joke everytime I fitted new tyres it rained big thing in Australia

Damn shame about the weather.

Great bike, and congratulations on your purchase!. Greetings from V85TT owner.

Congrats! Got mine a month ago.

Handlebar looks a bit thin??

I had a test ride on one, I loved it, real proper motorcycle, alive, mechanical magic! Had my heart set on the Mandelllo which is a great bike, the V85 is more comfortable, I have heard the Mandello service charges are just eyewatering at 15k miles. The V85 is a little underpowered but has enough for real world riding, I was surprised how much I liked it. So it's between the two now and do I wait for the new 24 V85?? One way or another it's a Guzzi for me and I would happily own either bike. Congrats on the new bike 👍

I find the handling great as well and yes it is a great place to be.

Congratulations on your decision, you won't regret it. 👍🏻👍🏻 I rode it as soon as it was launched in 2019 and was very impressed and excited. I just had concerns about its reliability. I had and still have a Kawasaki Versys 650 with almost 140,000 km on the clock without any problems. I then test drove several other motorcycles from 2019 - 2023 (Honda, KTM, Triumph) and after every test drive I only had the Guzzi in my head. 😂😂 last year in October, after a test drive with the Honda Transalp 750 😎😎 I bought the V85TT. 🥰🥰 also says a lot about the Honda...😎😎 I then drove almost 5000 km in Tuscany and Sardinia in 4 weeks. Every kilometer was pure fun. No other manufacturer has the charm and character of the Guzzi. No one who has never ridden one can understand that. 😉😉 best wishes from Bavaria and have fun with it...

Picked mine up today. Absolutely love it. Such a characterful bike. Came from a Sportster and Yamaha MT-03.

Guzzi’s are just different in a good way. A unique riding experience. Love mine.

Just picked mine up yesterday! The 3rd Guzzi in the stable, and glad to have it!

One thing I always say to anyone thinking of going down the Guzzi route is ,it's a Moto Guzzi, don't compare it to any other motorcycle you've ridden before, they are unique, on their own it's just a Guzzi and they do what they do . Full of character, pleasure and charm. Enjoy.

Glad you bought it. They're nice to ride for sure...even with the Italian quirks.

Lovely review, I do like these bikes and it's on my list, I'll have to settle for my FJR1300 and Royal Enfield Classic 350 for now. Did you buy the bike?
