Hello all, New member here, I purchased the V7c (Photo attached) for a bargain price of £200, she was a completely standard but a non runner and hadn't run for 6 years but only had 8000 miles on. Old fuel out, new battery, plugs and an oil and filter change she fired right up!

Its now got 18000 miles and the only issue ive had is the charging system seems to think 15.1v is OK so am looking to replace the R/R with a MOSFET

hi Guys
currently have a bmw r1250rs and took a v85tt 2025 model out on saturday and i am hooked so hopefully if the numbers add up will be a new owner of a v85tt soon based in the uk and have been touring europe for the last 20 years with the miss's on the back and think the v85 is going to be a great bike for this to continue.

Hello,

New Member from Ireland riding a new to me 2020 V85TT
Moved from a Kawasaki Versys to the V85 and love every bit of the change....

Except for the Alarm Service which has brought me here.

Looking forward to learning lots and lots about Moto Guzzi's

Ciao a tutti! I am Mike from Portland Oregon, checking in with my Breva 1100 from hell (see my other post if you're curious). It's a lovely bike and I can't wait to have her running beautifully again. I was a diehard sportbike rider for half a decade before riding a friends V7 and being shocked how a 50hp bike can feel just as torquey and even more engaging than my "race-bred" 600! I'll be a convert for life. It's lovely to meet all of you and have this wealth of knowledge for such a cool brand made better by you folks. Here's a nice little shot of my Breva ;)

Hello, I'm new to both this forum and Moto Guzzi ownership.  I have owned a Norton Commando, Triumph Bonnevill and Trident (old one), Harley Sportster, Honda Nighthawk and Pacific Coast and a bunch of different dirt bikes when I was younger.  I have actually been away from riding for the past 20 years while raising our two kids with my wife.  Now the kids are off to College and I am back on two wheels. 
I just purchase a 2004 Breva 750 a couple of weeks ago, put about 50 miles on it, then proceeded to dismantle it.  I have not gotten into the engine or trans (other than valve covers and oil pan) yet - that is more of a winter project for me (I live in Michigan).  I just have always had to know my bikes with first hand information and it appears that I have not outgrown it yet.  This is not the bike I had originally intended to get.  I was looking for a V7 classic but couldn't waste any more of the summer looking for one in my limited budget and I got the Breva for a fair price, so why not...right?
I realy like v-twins and prefer the 650 to 850 cc range (powerful enough and lighter).
Anyway, Moto Guzzi's seem to fit my personality and the dedicated followers of Guzzi seem to be like minded nutcases who can't seem to leave thier bikes alone.  So I am hoping to find a motorcycle community similar to the sailboat cruising community here in the Great Lakes and it appears that Moto Guzzi owners are a similar breed (and not like Harley owners).

Hello!

I purchased my first new motorcycle, and first Moto Guzzi earlier in June - a 2025 V85TT Travel! We have done a little over a thousand miles together, and are looking forward to many thousands more!
