2025 V85 TT Travel
« on: November 07, 2024, 09:36:19 PM »
Just took delivery of 2025 V85 TT Travel. I used the $1250 coupon from the Moto Guzzi Experience trip. I sold my 2014 Ducati MultiStrada with 34,000 miles. Wanted a simpler motorcycle with lower maintenance costs. Did first ride today.





Also, small group of friends riding Twisted Sisters in Central Texas Saturday, November 16th. Any riders in Central Texas want to go?

I test rode one recently.  It is the most "Goldie Locks" bike I have ever ridden.  I didn't notice much of an improvement over my 2020 when the Euro 5 compliant bikes came out in 21, but this 25 really is improved in ways you can notice.  If it was not for height, I would have one again.
I am sure you are going to enjoy riding and owning that bike (mine was completely reliable).

Congratulations!  :thumb: Hope you enjoy many, many happy miles...

I wanted the Travel except for the color combo...went with the TT in Rosso Fuji instead.
I am loving this engine (now that the canisterectomy is done) and am adding the extra wings, fogs, and windshield from the Travel...sort of a "Travel Light", if you will.

Congrats! 
I rode the new v85 at Barber a few weeks ago but not the Travel which I had hoped to demo.  I thought the new v85 had a little more power at the lower end of the rev range thanks to MG's variable cam timing thing, I guess.  I've got a '23 Travel and in the process of trying to resolve buffeting & noise behind the screen which isn't going well (windshields & deflectors).  Anyway, I see that MG changed the windshield, tank & added some deflectors to the '25 so I may have to find a dealer and try a new Travel!

Congrats on the new Travel. I have a Puig touring screen on my Adventure and that, along with the Givi hand guard spoilers, makes for a low buffeting and noise (I'm 5' 11" using a std seat and wool pad)
