The Moto Guzzi V85 Strada !!!

[@philnoud8638]

Your new favorite bike, after enjoying your review, is now my favorite bike! I've had 2 Guzzis in the past, a V11 and a V7. I think MGs are the classiest, elegant, most character-rich rides available. I'm waiting for the Stradas to arrive locally. Great review man!

I’m so glad to find other people that agree. I thought it was just me… Like why am I enjoying riding this thing so much?? Yeah the Guzzis are awesome… I am a believer!!!

The guy in front of you is a brand new rider. I think he did good considering that's only the 3rd street bike he has been on since he started riding a couple months ago.

[@Antmanmoto]

Yeah, he did. Everybody did great. Nobody crashed and all had a good time.

I came from a Ducati Multistrada, best move I ever made. The Ducati was awesome, but quite tall, and not fun in the cities. I am a 40 year plus rider, and never had a bike with so much character, it may "only" have 80hp, but it handles everything I ask it to do, all day comfort, good in dirt, gravel, and asphalt. Not to mention it is one sexy looking bike. I have the 2021 Centenario, and maintenance is an absolute breeze..

Your post literally making my mouth water. I really am going to figure something out for next year. It’s just the bike I feel completely at home on. Like a good friend I had never met in person. We just completely understood each other! I just got an MTO 9SP and I actually enjoy the Moto Guzzi quite a bit more

Oddly your audio is clearer with the windscreen down

This makes me miss a 2007 Breva 1100 I had. It was such a beautiful bike, full of character and very comfortable. That Goose is no longer in production, so if I squint looking at that Strada it brings back good memories!

I am sold on the magic of Moto Guzzi now. I just purchased an MT09 SP a couple of months ago. I swear had I tried this bike first I would have had one of these instead in a heartbeat. I still might! it just feels so welcoming and comforting to ride. And the vibes it gives just melt the heart…..I love the thing!

[@yesmichaels4571]

from toronto canada. just loved the video. i visited 2 wheels only perhaps 15 years ago with the bmw club of ontario. The narrator is a very safe rider and gave lots of room in front when the rider started braking mid turn. I have been riding for 50 years and i would have done exactly that. Liked and subscribed. I like your style mate!

[@Antmanmoto]

Thank you. I can just be myself and some people get it while others don’t… I’m glad you do lol

Great video. It makes me want to phone Dan and order a Strada right away, but unfortunately I live in Europe and I’ve already got one😊. I picked it up two weeks ago, and I can’t stop riding it; the roads around here are pretty similar to the ones in the video, and it’s such a nice place to be sat while enjoying the scenery. I agree with you about the screen; I’m 6ft and I find it less annoying/quieter down, so the turbulence hits my chest. There’s not many aftermarket options for the E5+ V85s yet, so for now I’m just treating it like a naked bike. Would be interested to know if a Travel screen and the little winglets would help.

[@Antmanmoto]

Sorry for my delay. Yes the little winglets make a big difference with wind buffeting coming up under the front of your helmet. One lady told me who has one. You are so lucky… I really want one.

The travel screen made a big difference on my 21 V85tt ( Centenario), I am a shade over 5,10, the wind is now top of my helmet, and made riding distances much less tiring.
