I only have the one, and although I love it I could be persuaded to let it go and be given a brand new V85TT.

I'd buy a cheap V7 used, tell them it was my favorite, and trade. That way I could keep my LMIII, my T3 and the Eldo.

I'm going with this if I can find one very cheap. But....

If I had to give up one of my bikes, NO WAY. I don't really care for the style. But....

If they offered a new version of my Eldo with a 900-1000cc engine , I might just give up my EVT.

My one and only 1200 Sport for a new V85?

Sure! I'd like to go lighter.

I rode the V85TT last week, found it to be very impressive and I'm thinking of buying one.
However, if I had to give up this, then no chance...

^^^ nice picture..

Perazzimx14 · « **Reply #36 on:** March 25, 2019, 08:18:35 AM »

I'm in the "no" camp. Everytime I see a picture of the bike from the front it reminds me of Gonzo.

Sheepdog · « **Reply #37 on:** March 25, 2019, 09:13:07 AM »

The V85 is the most desirable bike Guzzi has made since I bought my Vintage, but there is no way that I would give up that 'ol ditch pump. Those two valve Big Blocks aren't being made anymore...

JeffOlson · « **Reply #38 on:** March 25, 2019, 11:59:52 AM »

I like much about the V85TT, and I would take one if given it. However, I would not buy one or trade for one: I do not like adventure-style bikes with their beaks, I do not like them, Sam I am...

You say that like it's a bad thing-ha ha!

canuck750 · « **Reply #40 on:** March 25, 2019, 12:09:35 PM »

Nope,

My all time favorite Guzzi is still my 72 Eldorado, the V7 Sport, 750S are nice bikes, pretty to look at, a little quicker than the Eldo (not much though) but not as comfortable to ride, but no, the current Guzzi line up would not have me trading in my 70's iron.

Absolutely, if it came with the luggage. My 1000SP needs work, so I guess they could fix it.

Toecutter · « **Reply #42 on:** March 25, 2019, 01:14:08 PM »

I'd take it!

and then promptly trade it for a shiny new V7III.

Thought this was a trick question...Of course I would!

I have to say NO to the deal. My latest addition just arrived to Toronto today, still in the crate:

but... next year I would like to review the option to have V85TT in my garage. It is great looking bike and I would love to buy one but not sure if the insurance premiums will be friendly/affordable enough to get one :(

BTW, anybody wants to guess what's in the box?

Cam3512 · « **Reply #46 on:** March 25, 2019, 07:04:04 PM »

I have a V85 ordered. Having said that, I would NEVER trade in my '71 Ambo Police or '74 V7 Sport for one. And both are worth a straight up trade. NEVER!

NOT a Guzzi...

zebraranger · « **Reply #49 on:** March 25, 2019, 08:06:52 PM »

I'd have to decline and keep my Griso since they no longer make them. Plus, I don't think the V85 can offer the same thrill.

wyno · « **Reply #50 on:** March 26, 2019, 02:48:46 AM »

^^^^^
Wot he said. I'll keep my Griso. But if I could afford it, I'd have a V85 too.

Smithy · « **Reply #51 on:** March 26, 2019, 05:14:03 AM »

Yup, my Cali is for sale and I will be looking at a V85TT, GS 1250 or the new Rocket 3..

flip · « **Reply #52 on:** March 26, 2019, 05:37:07 PM »

Sure, I’d trade my Breva 1100 in a heartbeat for a new V85TT. Then I’d make one of you guys a good deal on the V85TT! Then I’d go bike shopping.

jwinwi · « **Reply #53 on:** March 26, 2019, 05:59:54 PM »

I'll only get a new bike if I don't have to give up any of the old ones.

Luap McKeever · « **Reply #56 on:** March 27, 2019, 12:43:36 PM »

I'm afraid it would take four v85's to get me off my MGX. That way I could sell 2 of them to buy another MGX. Then, the wife and I would each have 2 bikes

azguzzirep · « **Reply #57 on:** March 27, 2019, 12:59:35 PM »

I would trade my 1998 EV, but not my 1968 V700 !!
