The move back into competitive racing with the Moto Guzzi Fast Endurance Trophy, to be held this year on a European scale, and a new family of motorbikes have brought Moto Guzzi back to a prime market position and introduced its name to a younger public. The classic V7, which has just come out on the new 850 twin cylinder, and the classic enduro V85 TT intended for travel and designed for comfort and easy riding, are the best-sellers of a brand that has been enjoying a revival for a number of years.
Moto Guzzi has introduced the newest member of the V85 TT family as released at this year's EICMA show. Meet the 2020 V85 TT Travel. Building off the success of the V85 TT adventure bike, the Travel will offer a compliment of touring accessories as standard equipment, including spacious panniers, a tall windscreen, heated grips, and LED driving lights. The Moto Guzzi MIA infotainment system offers smartphone connectivity and management of the electronic rider assist functions including three Ride Modes (Road, Rain, Off-road), and selectable traction control, all from the instrument panel.
The Mandello, Italy-based brand developed an entirely new engine for the V85 TT: a 90-degree, air-cooled, 850cc, transverse V-twin that produces a claimed 80 hp. Guzzi asserts that every part of this new mill is proprietary, nothing was borrowed from other existing engines. It will, however, be the technical basis for a “series of new motorcycles,” so let’s hope the company hit the nail on the head. Guzzi is no stranger to the adventure sect; its long history includes Six Day Trials performances as far back as 1939 and Paris-Dakar stints 50 years later. The current Stelvio 1200 NTX has the looks and build of other adventure bikes on the market today like Suzuki’s V-Strom, so Guzzi made the V85 TT stand out in the design department.
V7 is one of the most celebrated and well-known Moto Guzzi models. This global fame is due to its ability to remain faithful to the expectations and reputation of a legendary brand like Moto Guzzi. Since 1967, the year the first units were sold in Italy, the V7 has become a cornerstone of the product range, representative of the ultimate Italian motorcycle and standing out for its content and design, highly popular with a wide and varied public.More than fifty years after the launch of the first unit, Moto Guzzi is proud to present the new V7, the most recent chapter of a unique history. The revamping is so profound that Moto Guzzi opted to change the name too: V7, without the progressive numbering with Roman numerals that had characterised the previous models - a testament to the almost total change from every point of view, even involving the chassis architecture and the engine. You wouldn't think so at first glance, and that is perhaps the highest compliment that could be paid the eagle brand designers and engineers in Mandello who have once again demonstrated their passion and skill in improving a legendary model like the V7, leaving its character and authenticity unaltered, values destined to last over time. Two versions are available: alongside the Stone, the most minimalist model with modern content, is the Special which, as always, remains the most classic and elegant.
