V85 sport rumor?

[bad Chad]

This video is a bit better than the usual BS blown out on to Youtube, but still might be utter fantasy.

The fist part features what looks to me to be a v85 Strada close to production ready, but the video indicates its something new for 26, which perhaps it is, as the Strada came out at the same time as the second gen TT and Travel.  Could just be hack work by the creators of the video, or??

The second half discusses the rumored v85Sport, which until now, I hadn't heard of.  Have any of you heard of such??

I like the look of the new concept Goozie…!
Also the “all new rocker arm operated valves..” Cutting edge stuff.

That video is peculiar enough that I smell “let’s put some content out regardless of accuracy for monetary click value.” Don’t get me wrong—I’d love to see some air-cooled sporty bike that DOESN’T use a V7 tank. But the whole talk about a V85 street-oriented ADV when, as you mentioned, we already have it in the Strada…? What stands out about that spy shot that we don’t already have?

As for the sport…Maybe one day.

With Guzzi and other companies  halting of importing to the US it may be a L O N G wait for us to see one if it comes to fruition.   * Perhaps that will make some of our used Guzzis a bit more value?

I think the “ rocker arm operated valves..” was just an AI misspeak in the video.
I have thought that the v85 could make an interesting supermoto conversion, but it is heavy.

You read that TOO. Let the Germans & Frenchies get the bad ones & not US.

That V85 Sport might be the bike that would finally convince me to let my 2006 Ducati Sport Classic go.  What a beauty.  One thing I am sure these speculators got right - they show the white version with crappy non-adjustable USD forks, just like the current V7 Sport.  That's okay, I'd probably replace suspension at both ends anyway, in the process of turning that bike into my next super weird track machine.  I've hoped for a long time that MG would produce a true sport bike (i.e., not a tarted up V7 "racer"), so we could all pretend we were on an MGS-01.   Thanks for posting this it has really piqued my interest!

Keep the Duc no matter what.  Unique and wonderful.
