The more I learn about this bike the more I end up liking the sound of it...

Yep, looking for a light weight to put behind my RV when traveling with my wife. Great one day 2 person putt around bike or long solo rides. Getting more excited....

That does look good! And expensive no doubt when you start adding on those accessories.

The seat height is 830mm, or 32.7 inches. Not too bad I guess.

Question: Does a tire "with air chamber" mean "tube type"?

That's a very attractive and a very practical motorcycle. I hope it's a huge success for Moto Guzzi.

I notice the frame is the right colour.
Just have to have the tank etc.. re done in red...


Yep, that'll go nicely with my plate.. (Which arrived yesterday as it happens..)
Now, where's my bike ?

The answer, per translate.google.co m:

pneumatico "con camera d'aria"  =  "inner tube" tire

This will no doubt be merged soon with the other V85 thread, but I'm glad to see some actual specs released. Although I would prefer tubeless tires, it would not be a deal breaker for me. It appears that all the other stuff that matters to me is there. The only other thing will be to wait for when it actually appears in the States, and weather I can afford one. But, with the specs, I would seriously consider getting rid of the Stelvio and the 1400 and replacing them both with the V85.

 A new dealer has taken over the Seattle Guzzi franchise and if they do well I can see me buying one of the V85's

I dont see myself ever parting with the V7III Carbon, but I will definitely be interested in a test ride of the V85.  It is the only mid size option with a shaft drive.  If it is too close in price to a BMW RnineT urban enduro I might go that direction due to tubeless tires.

Why can't you just seal the spoke heads and go tubeless ?

The bike looks great and I hope it's a game changer for Guzzi . I'd really like to test ride one.

The write up seems like it came from Guzzi's advertising department.

Yep... It's a press release...
