Moto Guzzi V85 TT coming to Oz
Will lob in Australia mid-2019 in limited numbersMoto Guzzi Australia’s announced the concept adventure bike it whipped the covers off at the 2017 EICMA show in Milan will now go on sale in production form locally in 2019.
Due for release in Australia around June/July 2019, the V85 TT differs very little from the concept and is replacing the Stelvio in Moto Guzzi’s adventure line-up.
The V85 TT – the acronym ‘TT’ stands for “tutto terreno” (ie all terrain) – has wire-spoked wheels, Brembo brakes, a tubular steel trellis frame, and a brand new 90-degree transverse air-cooled 850cc engine which is good for a claimed 80hp.
The Ohlins suspension from the concept appears to have been jettisoned on the production form. The monoshock connects the chassis directly to the swingarm, and Moto Guzzi says “there is generous wheel travel”.
There’s also plenty of sump protection, a high-mounted front guard, as well as an asymmetric swingarm which houses the drive shaft.
The V85 TT has TFT instrumentation and and an LED daytime running light.
Handguards, a windshield and small rear rack complete the very well finished look.
