2024 V85 Models

Anyone else getting excited about the 2024 V85 models?
VisorDown posted an article last week, stating MG has announced the prices, but there’s still zip all info on the MGGB website. I so need to see a V85 Strada in the flesh - £11,200 btw.

Is there another Moto Guzzi site? I’m only aware of the one official site, which states £11.2K for the ‘Strada’

I meant the MG OS, that’s been up there for a while, they just slotted in the prices recently. I guess when they’ve shifted the discounted old stock, the range info will update & we may be able to run a config!

I saw and sat on them at Milan and there are some nice improvements on the original. Personally, I think I prefer the new V85 to the Stelvio. However would like to see the option of alloy wheels on the travel, as I hate cleaning wire wheels

As a long-term Stelvio 8V owner, I was keen to test-ride the V100 Mandello as a potential replacement. When booking the test ride, I also mentioned the V85TT and they had just had their 2024 demonstrator delivered (Strada model) so; ‘What the hell, why not try that too’. I took it out first, thinking I wouldn’t be that impressed if I rode it after the V100. Felt entertaining at all speeds, great brakes, sweet gearbox (better than the V100) and more comfortable than the V100 too. It has ‘enough’ of everything for me and goes really well on the twisty single carriageways. Other boring considerations are that it is cheaper, has a longer tank range and (probably) easier to DIY service. I really thought the Mandello would blow me away afterwards but no - It’s a very good bike but too much of a ‘superbike’ for what I want. The few areas where it trumps the V85TT is insignificant to long term riding/ownership. So…deposit paid :slight_smile:
