Introduction: Buckle up, gearheads, because the iconic Moto Guzzi V85 is hitting the streets (and maybe some off-road trails) in 2024 with a revved-up attitude and three distinct personalities. Whether you’re a road warrior, an off-road adventurer, or somewhere in between, the Moto Guzzi V85’s got a flavor for every rider’s taste.
The Heart of the Beast: Underneath the V85’s sleek exterior lies a heart that beats with an 853cc twin-cylinder motor, now upgraded to pump out a whopping 80bhp – because who doesn’t love a bit more oomph? Moto Guzzi didn’t stop there; they’ve thrown in 61 lb ft of torque at 5,100rpm, with 90% of it available just above idle. It’s like the V85 is whispering, “Let’s make some memories together.”
Euro5+ Compliant and Tech-Savvy: The V85 now dances to the Euro5+ tune, complete with knock sensors for that precise ignition timing. With a 52mm throttle body and ride-by-wire technology, this beast offers multiple mappings and a semi-dry sump – because, let’s be honest, who wants a soggy sump? The cherry on top? A tubular steel frame with a satin finish that’s as sexy as it is sturdy.
Suspension and Brakes – Because We Love Drama: Adjustable suspension at both ends, supporting a 210mm ground clearance – because who needs to worry about the small bumps in life? Fronted by 320mm discs and Brembo callipers, this bike stops on a dime (or a euro, given its Euro5+ compliance). And let’s not forget the six-axis IMU and three riding modes: ‘Road’, ‘Sport’, and ‘Rain’. It’s like the V85 has a split personality, just like your ex.
Meet the Personalities:
- Moto Guzzi V85 TT – The Wild Child:
- Spoked wheels for that rugged charm.
- Two paint schemes: ‘Rosso Fuji’ and ‘Grigio Tambora’ – because looking good is half the battle.
- Road-treaded tires – because who knows where the road may lead.
- Weighs 4kg less than its sibling – the diet is working!
- Moto Guzzi V85 Strada – The Smooth Operator:
- Road-oriented with treaded tires for that city swagger.
- Alloy wheels, low front mudguard, and sleek styling – because looking cool is the other half of the battle.
- Comes in two chic colors: ‘Nero Isola’ and ‘Grigio Brera’.
- Moto Guzzi V85 TT Travel – The Long-Distance Lover:
- 23-liter fuel tank for those never-ending adventures.
- Cardan shaft for smooth sailing – because chains are so last season.
- Sidecases, heated grips, heated seat – because comfort is key.
- Connects through Moto Guzzi MIA – because even bikes need to stay connected.
- Adorned in the majestic ‘Bronzo Deserto’ – because the TT Travel knows how to make an entrance.
Conclusion: In the world of motorcycles, the Moto Guzzi V85 2024 is not just an upgrade; it’s a personality-packed, tech-savvy, Euro5+ compliant beast that’s ready to conquer roads, trails, and the hearts of riders everywhere. So, which personality suits your riding style? The wild child, the smooth operator, or the long-distance lover? Choose wisely, and let the adventures begin!
