Moto Guzzi is without a doubt one of the OGs of the motorcycle world. Since 1921, the Italian marque has been cranking out bikes that are as unique as they are legendary. Unlike other brands that chase the latest trends, Guzzi sticks to what makes them special: transverse V-twins, shaft drives, and a whole lot of character.
Over the years, they’ve built pretty much everything from retro-styled roadsters like the V7 to cutting-edge tourers like the V100 Mandello, always keeping that classic Italian soul intact. So yeah, suffice it to say that if you’re into motorcycles that have a story to tell, Moto Guzzi is where it’s at.
When the V85 TT first hit the scene in 2019, it was like Moto Guzzi threw a wrench in the adventure bike scene—and personally, I think it was in the best way possible. Because while other brands were going bigger, faster, and more high-tech, Guzzi was like, “Nah, let’s keep it real.” And that’s pretty much what they did.
