The V85TT is in a vastly different class then the CB though, it’s a long distance, all roads tourer. There’s a reason I have a nice standard AND an ADV bike in my garage; I certainly wouldn’t be doing the 8hrs of MABDR I did on my Tenere yesterday on the CB. When I tire of the stalwart workhorse the SuperTen is, the V85 will be on the list (along with the Africa Twin again - hopefully with factory cruise by then).
I absolutely love the characteristics of the Guzzi engines, I’ll be extremely interested to see owner reviews of the V85 once it starts getting into people’s hands. Those Italian Vtwins really like to rev, making rowing through the gears an absolute delight.
One massive + of the V7 I bought before the CB is that the air cooled twin somehow puts out nearly 0 engine heat, helping keep things comfortable in the hot & humid climate I ride in come summer. Wondering how the V85 will be in comparison.
