V85(Guzzi Newbie) Hello from Dorset

Evening,

Just a quick Hello from deepest, darkest Darzit!! Recently purchased a V85TT in the Sahara Yellow/Red frame combo. Always loved em so when this 4,800mls example came up secondhand in a local dealer, the Z900RS Cafe and cash did the deal. Love the handling, retro styling and superb build quality. My first Guzzi too in 41 years of riding, owned a Cagiva, Laverda 180 Jota and a Laverda RGS Special and many other makes and genres along the way.
Bit of a bugger as the Engine oil Temp sensor failed soon after purchase but arriving from Italy soon!!!
Cheers

Welcome

Love the V85. Sorry to hear it wasn’t a smooth start to ownership, I am sure you will enjoy the bike

Cheers for that. Sensor arrived from Italy and fitted so all good thanks.
New high comfort seat bought too that’s a plus now also.
Cheers
