Moto Guzzi was established in 1921 by three friends from the Italian Air Corps and is Europes oldest motorcycle manufacturer in continuous production, based in the same factory in Mandello del Lario overlooking Lake Como ever since. Always innovative they were very successful in Grand Prix racing with products as diverse as the 350cc horizontal single that won five world championships in a row to the incredible 500c V8. After mainly producing single cylinder designs for their road bikes Guzzi launched the 750cc V7 in 1969 to satisfy the demand for larger capacity bikes and the iconic transverse shaft drive vee twin layout has now become Guzzis signature design. The V35 and V50 models were launched as lightweight versions of the bigger capacity V-twins introducing an entirely new group of riders to the mystique and cachet of the Moto Guzzi brand, eventually growing in capacity to the current 850cc models. The V85TT is Guzzis offering in now popular adventure bike market.
This fully equipped Guzzi V85TT is part of a deceased estate, showing just 3200 miles on its speedo. It is the 'Evocative Graphics' edition and comes fitted with a full travel pack of QD side panniers, QD top box, engine bars, extra spot lights, hand guards, SW Motech tank bag mounting ring, sat nav mount and phone holder. The vendor was a life long bike enthusiast with a large collection of classics from a Honda C90 to an MV F1000 but unfortunately never got the chance to use this bike as intended. It comes supplied with a current V5C.
