REVIEW

Hurrah! Moto Guzzi have joined the realms of BOTB! First teasing us with this concept at last years EICMA, the tantalisingly good looking V85 is set to hit our UK shores in March, but is available for pre-order now! Moto Guzzi aim to fill the vacant gap left in their line-up after their adventure tourer, the Stelvio, was axed in 2016. At the heart is an updated version of their 850cc transverse twin, sourced from the V9 and anchored to the new steel-tube frame as stress-member. Suspension is characterised by long-travel, capable of absorbing bumps off-road. Recalling the epic rally raids of the 80s, styling is retro but designed to take on the every-day as well as the off-road, using the latest technology. Keep exploring, even when the asphalt ends!
