The Chinese bikes are really pushing the established brands to up their game, some nice updates to the 850, hope they can hang in there.

Good to see Guzzi updated it. Personally I prefer the originals welded tube area around the headlight and luggage rack but the new design will work just as well and probably be easier to make. A bit more power and torque, and better wind management are welcome improvements. Creating a road only version with cast wheels was a good idea.
For next year I'd like to see them make a classic styled V7 Sport utilizing the V85 drivetrain.

Wow! That is a sharply outfitted bike. The Travel version looks to be $13.6k U.S. but that may be for 2023. Nearly 2x what I'm generally willing to spend on a bike, but I'll have to stop by the dealer to take a look.

That is very sharp. Maybe it's for the best that my local dealer closed recently. Been on a V7 kick lately, but have wanted a long-distance travelling bike.

Aye, on the cast wheels. VVT, anti-knock sensors, and 6-axis IMU is so not Guzzi. I am happy to see they are back porting those as available on their legacy (non-V100-like) models.

Kind of Guzzi V85TT related since you have one, GO and Kiowa, and whomever else here who might be interested. Mark your calendar and plan for a great ride to Oregon in June!
Guzzi Owners Club Rally in John Day, Oregon. June 27-30, 2024. Camping in the park which is right in the small town so walking distance to restaurants, bars, shopping, etc. Also lodging is right there for those who prefer not to camp.

I think my V85TT likes the cold. But we haven't had the real cold yet.
Guzzis in OR - sounds nice, but would indeed be quite the trek.
