V85tt or V7 850

[Huzo]

Hello Huzo:

Is that your wonderful work?

Yes, it is.
There isn’t much there that the average guy cannot do.
The mods are…

Reduced tension on the throttle twist grip.
Wheels disassembled and polished.
Front beak removed and Aprilia Caponord Rally front fender fitted.
Denali front spot auxiliary headlights….
Crash bar nickel plated.
Hand guards removed.
Mandrel bent headers with low muffler.
Rear top case mount moved forward 140 mm.
Bike lowered 30 mm (seat height 815 mm)
Ohlins rear shock.
Rear swingarm stripped and re painted silver.

There’s a thread covering most of the stuff called “V85 facelift”… I’ll bump it for you.

Jackthebiker,
 
That is a gorgeous color on your Honda NC750X, what year is it?

Yes, looks like it should have been like that ex factory.
Do you still have stocks KoF ?

V7 for its adaptability (set it up how you want) and low/normal seat height

V85 for more off road capability

If you don't mind mounting by stepping on peg to throw a leg over, don't mind reving out for best power, or duck bill ADV look, and want factory screen and bags (maybe heated grips) the V85 is the way to go.

If you want a standard classic with great power across the rev band, and ability to set up how you want (or just leave alone), the V7 850 is the way to go.

If the V85 had a classic single headlight, it would likely be in my garage. I decided to modify a Stornello and am completely satisfied.

I don't but Hamlin Cycles has been a dealer for me for a long time.  He has some in stock.

I should get a couple for my new Stelvio.
They should go nicely with the Guzzi red…!

Headlights are easy to change out.

I’m 6’ with 32” inseam so both bikes should fit.

I am the same stats as you and I'll be 65 in 2 weeks except I am built of chiseled steel thank you. Two weeks ago at Team Charlotte/ Tees Euro cycles I bought a 2020 V85TT in white , red, yellow with 10k miles
and I love it. I also own a 2004 BMW R1150R and a 1980 Honda 900 custom  that I'm restoring into a scrambler bike.
