Nice work --- LOVE IT!

Too bad that the TT are so rare, I'd love to have one, esp. with a new 1TB V7 motor in it!

TTs are *very* scarce in the States. I have seen two.  :smiley: Yours, to me, is what an adventure bike *should* be. Bloated BMWs and dare I say Stelvio are just not really capable of real off road riding, IMHO.

^^^ This. Seem to be quite a bit more in the UK and Europe. I've heard that some Guzzis that are plentiful here are rare over there (Converts). Maybe we can work a trade - a container full of Converts for a container of V65TT and NTX.  :wink:

Stelvo NTX is a lovely bike to ride, but it must weigh twice what my tt does and is so top heavy.

Great job!  :thumb:

Has anyone gone the other way and created a "v75tt" out of a newer V7?
Is the frame basically the same small block frame but with longer suspension and different tank seat, fenders...?

I don't think I have EVER seen a TT in the states here.

No need for the flame suit. I have the Stelvio mainly as a two up tour rig. And it is good for that. But it is a pig of a bike to manage in dirt.
Something like that small block TT (as in closer to a WeeStrom) would be MUCH better for solo riding.

Two?  These 2




From my shop in IL, Helped the owners of two TT's prepare for a trip to Rio, Brazil from IL. They made it and more.
One has a NTX tank, the other has saddle tanks by the headlight. Well known Rally goers from IL

Moto Guzzi themselves should go that way.  Seems like a no brainer to me.  The concept is heading there with the Neuvo Stornello which hasn't been released in Australia yet.  Just needs 21" front & long travel suspension.  The 6-speed gives a good spread of ratios and nice, low 1st gear.  I'm waiting.

First off.... To the OP... very nice work. Must be a ton of fun.

I think there is a market for this type of bike. I have an NTX but I won't take it in the dirt... my legs are too short and it's too heavy. I think there is a huge market for MG in the 850/900 range from a mini Stelvio and Norge to a truly dirt worthy bike as the OP has done. Give it both a 21" and 19" tire version as Triumph has done.
