And the winner is... V85TT

German magazine MOTORRAD have listed the bikes with the longest range on a tank of gas, and the V85 offered the most with 548 km to bone dry (340 miles) with the consumption the bike had during the test loop (4.2 liters per 100 km = 56 mpg).

Thats pretty much my experience. 65-70 mph is the sweet spot. Over 70 MPGs start to drop.

Love the range on the V85TT  !!!  Wish I liked the bike, more.  Not that there's anything wrong with it.  Just not my style.

The number one issue with the entire V85TT series is that they are ALL just too tall in the saddle for me, (*SIGH*)    At age 72, I want to plant both feet solidly on the ground...

I will point out that the v85 has a lower seat height than much of it's direct comp.   Seat height on the v85 is 32.6/830mm but can be dropped or raised close to an inch with the optional Guzzi seat.  I put on the high seat and love it!  Just for comparison, Triumph 900 adv is 33.8 and the Desert X is 34.4.
