And the winner is... V85TT

[faffi]

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.

I love my V85. It's quickly becoming the best all around Guzzi I've ever owned. Even with that 6 gallon tank, I've gotten into pickles before in back country and dang near ran it out of gas. So, I mounted two aluminum beer cans to my urban saddlebags for an extra 40 ounces of "reserve" or at least fuel to start a fire if I need to survive a night
You can see them in this photo I took a couple days ago.

Y’all’s bladders apparently hold a much larger volume of fluid than mine does because I’ve got to find a gas station every two hours for a “pit stop”😩🤣

Absolutely nothing to do with bladders! There are no gas stations West of the Mississippi in many states.

On our numerous "Road Trips", my wife has an expression which we live by: 

"Never pass up an opportunity for a bathroom break!"

Does your car/truck only have a two hours fuel capacity or when you stop do you only put in 2 hours worth of fuel? I mean why put in more you'll consume in one sitting. 

I like the flexibility 8 gallon tank on my GSA gives me. I top up and do not have to worry about finding another gas station for 350+ miles. I can still stop whenever and as often as I want I just don't have to stop at as many gas stations. Honesty gas stations Buc-ee's aside are pretty much if you've seen one you've seen them all.

My 2009 GSA had a 33L tank with the filler neck drilled and also a 14L slave tank. Having nearly a 500 mile range was great, stop everywhere but a gas station.

Luap, after your troubles with the 1400 and a few other bikes... I'm glad to read that you are becoming happy with this one.  You deserve it, 100%.  I sincerely hope it just get's better and better. 
I enjoyed my V85 for awhile, but it just didn't quite tick off what I wanted.  Now I've got a bit older 1100 Cali and it's just about right for me.
