Stylish V85TT has heaps of personality presented the traditional Moto Guzzi way, with plenty of attention to detail. Part adventure tourer, part streetfighter, part street scrambler, there’s nothing else quite like the V85TT in the marketplace right now, and youthful designer Mirko Zocco deserves compliments for producing a bike with unique styling that’s as fresh to look at as it’s fun to ride.

It’s really a different type of motorcycle than anything Moto Guzzi has done lately. But the V85TT is powered by an all-new air/oil-cooled 853cc engine with just two valves per cylinder, so it’s positioned in another category in terms of both capacity and engineering. Guzzi management represents the V85TT as a replacement for the Stelvio, its previous dual-purpose (aka Crossover) model dating back to 2007, which was scrapped two years ago because it would have been too costly to upgrade its elderly 1151cc eight-valve OHV motor to Euro 4 compliance.

The chance to spend a 120-mile day in sunny Sardinia riding the result on the hilly, switchback roads of Italy’s second largest island demonstrated very well what a significant model this is for Italy’s oldest motorcycle manufacturer. Moto Guzzi produced one of the big hits of last November’s EICMA Milan Show in the shape of its retro-themed V85TT adventure tourer, as in Tutto Terreno, or all-terrain, rather than Tourist Trophy! The production version of the Concept 85 show bike displayed at the same show one year earlier, this is the opening shot in a series of forthcoming new Guzzi middleweight models using the same Euro 4 compliant engine platform. Moto Guzzi’s latest entry into the flourishing midsize street scrambler market, the 2019 Moto Guzzi V85TT, features an all-new transverse 90º V-twin engine set to power a range of future models. Read on for our full 2019 Moto Guzzi V85TT Review. The 2019 Moto Guzzi V85TT is a midsize scrambler with unique styling that’s as fresh to look at as it’s fun to ride.
