What bike is this?

Been watching a few videos from factory grand opening in Italy. I noticed this bike in the cycle news video. Not sure if anyone’s seen this before. Maybe it’s a concept bike or something.

Modified/custom V85?

The mysterious V850X we’ve been waiting to see?

Who would do something like that ?

Only one other.  Some crazy Aussie I read about.

I suspect it's a Officine Rossopuro build.

This video looks like the V85 in the video capture, and the description matches as it was to be unveiled at the event.

Definitely not the same bike if that’s what you were inferring. That babe is an old NTX with a classic small block frame. I love that build (they have a couple NTX / TT customs that I’m incredibly smitten with).

My bad though it does look like it came from the same stable. I wish the flu would sod off - I might be more on the ball, then.

Yeah, that Rossopuro guess makes sense - they seem to like starting with a V85 base and reworking the tank/seat unit and bodywork into that flat-track/scrambler look. Would explain why it looked "off" enough to not be a factory concept but still clearly Guzzi underneath.

Be curious to see if it actually gets built up in metal or stays a one-off show bike. A lot of these boutique Italian builders do a rolling chassis for the reveal and then take forever (or never) to finish the full build. If anyone gets closer photos from the event it'd be worth comparing the frame/subframe to confirm it's actually the V85 mule and not something using the small block like the Gran Sasso.
