oto Guzzi turned heads
at Intermot by unveiling
the production version
of the V85 Tutto Terreno
"Classic Enduro," which they
first teased at the EICMA show
last year.
The V85 TT is aimed directly
at the modern-classic market
while reminiscing on the air-
cooled enduro bikes of the
1970s. Instantly, your eyes will
catch the large, 5.5-gallon
rally-inspired fuel tank, twin

headlights, and distinctive
front fender, along with the
retro paint scheme.
But the V85 TT isn't only a
visual appeal. Not by a long
shot.
At its core, the Moto Guzzi Is
powered by a 850cc
V-twin engine, which is
said to produce throaty 78
horsepower. The Italian
engineers then fitted the V85
TT with cruise control, traction
control, ABS systems, as well
as three selectable riding
modes (Road, Rain, Off-
road). All of these settings are
accessed via a full-color TFT
display. Retro at heart, but not
so much in the details.
The V85 TT is fitted with
a 19-inch front and 17-inch
rear spoked wheel to help
with light off-road riding, with
suspension coming with
preload adjustability. Its low
seat height will also help when
the going gets dirty.
There's no confirmed date
of when the V85 TT will make
its way stateside or what it
price tag will be. CN
