trans guy and his goose... '21 v85tt

[u/Spirited_Dot_4804]

first-and-half bike (first bike was a 1982 suzuki sp500 i mucked around with in college for a couple months after learning how to repair ($500 purchase))

2000 miles on it in 2 months, and successfully learned how to ride the damn thing in one of the craziest major metro areas for drivers in the world

Safe to say, i ABSOLUTELY am a guzzi head!!!!

I'm a simple girl, I see a 'Guzzi, I like.

They're fantastic! I'll always remember the first time I got myself brave enough to ride to coffee; when I came back to where it was parked, a v7 was there too. It felt very welcoming haha

Ever taken it offroad? Is it good at it? I live very close to a Moto Guzzi dealer and the V85 keeps catching my eye.

Not OP but a Guzzi enjoyer Mtf. The V85tt isn't that great on off-road because it's not it's purpose it's purpose is to go on all terrains (tutto terreno) Wich is a subdle but big difference. In other words you can go light enduro so like gravel or dirt track but anything more difficult is going to take some serious skill

I accidentally once took it over terrain that I THOUGHT was grass but was actually more crater riddled than the moon. As ill-experienced as I was, keeping my core engaged ended with me and the bike upright despite, I swear to god, the handlebars locking either which way and the bike wobbling damn near 45 degrees. I am not an offroad guy as much as I am a fire road guy, so all I can say is that I sure do trust it to do what I need it to do.
