The GMG – Giornate Mondiali Moto Guzzi, which will take place in Mandello del Lario from September 9-12, will be the culmination of a year-long celebration by Moto Guzzi to mark its spectacular 100th birthday. Ten years after their previous appearance, the GMG – Giornate Mondiali Moto Guzzi – remains a must-attend event for every Guzzi fan. Motorcycling enthusiasts from across the globe will travel to Mandello del Lario to participate in a one-of-a-kind event made possible by the partnership of Moto Guzzi, the Motoraduno Internazionale Committee, and the city of Mandello del Lario. To commemorate this momentous anniversary, Moto Guzzi will build a small number of unique Centennial Livery-themed models in 2021, which will be available on the V7, V9, and 2021 V85 TT Centenario Moto Guzzi Adventure Motorcycle.
One of the most iconic motorbikes in history is the Otto Cilindri which was initially produced in 1955, and this color scheme is a tribute to its design and style. One of the most audacious motorcycle projects globally, this bike was designed to compete in World Championship 500 class, ten years ahead of all other worldwide motorcycle manufacturers.
When it comes to motorcycle color schemes, this one is a standout. The satin-finished metal fuel tank is paired with the green fairing and leather seat on this racing-inspired machine. It’s a color scheme that also characterized the 350 Bialbero, one of the most successful motorcycles in history, the indomitable dominator of the 350 class in World Championship GP Motorcycle Racing, with an incredible record of 9 straight world championships (5 Rider and 4 Manufacturer).
In 2021, Moto Guzzi will commemorate its 100th anniversary, which will be a momentous occasion. Mandello del Lario has been producing some of the finest bikes in the world for over a century, blending cutting-edge technology with Italian craftsmanship to create some of the world’s finest machines. These are the Moto Guzzi principles that have guided the company from its inception in 1921.
Hence, the V85 TT was created, a tribute to the daring adventures that have always been a part of Moto Guzzi’s legacy, in its purest and most original form reminiscent of desert contests like the Paris–Dakar, the legendary African race that had its heyday in the early 1980s.
2021 V85 TT Centenario Moto Guzzi Adventure Motorcycle – Features
Embrace the Luxury of Freedom
The V85 TT clearly inherited Moto Guzzi’s passion for travel. No other bike brings back as vivid memories of past desert races as the Paris-Dakar rally from the 1980s like this one. It’s all about adventure and exploration. There’s little doubt that the Mandello Eagle has been renowned for its freedom and exhilaration for decades, and the V85 TT comes close to reproducing those feelings.
Concept
If you’re looking for something to get you from point A to point B on a daily commute or long road trips, look no further than the V85 TT. In a market that is getting more and more cookie-cutter, there is no room for compromise regarding comfort and performance. The V85 TT is the first and only classic enduro to achieve its lofty goal of combining legendary styling with all the contemporary conveniences of an enduro touring bike, and it certainly lives up to that moniker.
Travel
There are no technical differences between the V85 TT Travel and its V85 TT brother. Touring windscreen, Urban series side panniers with improved capacity and decreased weight, LED auxiliary lighting, and heated adjustable grips are just a few of the amenities that come standard on this motorcycle. The Moto Guzzi MIA multimedia platform is available as an add-on.
Colors
Three brand-new graphic possibilities are available for the V85 TT, each designed to highlight a different curve of the sleek frame. Giallo Mojave yellow and Rosso Uluru red are available.
Engine
Moto Guzzi is known for its air-cooled transverse 90° V twin-cylinder engine with OHV distribution and two valves per cylinder; therefore, the engine is the same. Although we’re not sitting back, we’ve added more torque at low and medium speeds and a better-than-ever electronic engine management system in the Mandello eagle tradition.
Wheels
Tubeless tires have been installed on the spoked wheels, decreasing the unsprung weight by around 1.5 kg and enhancing the ride characteristics.
Electronic systems
Two more options have been added to the Ride-by-Wire handlebar control, making it simpler than ever to adjust traction, ABS, and pick up. Moto Guzzi’s MIA multimedia platform integrates your smartphone and bike to offer an incredible range of capabilities. Cruise control and a brand new color TFT instrument panel are included in the basic package.
When Moto Guzzi’s Normale was introduced, it was the first color to be used on a motorcycle, and it is widely considered one of the most iconic of the Eagle colors. To represent the Larian brand’s firmness and authenticity, the Style Centre used a matte finish and paired it with metallic paints. A saddle wrapped in a natural-colored material like leather is matched to the body colors to emphasize the attention to detail that is so characteristic of Italian design. The gold-plated eagle and Moto Guzzi’s 100-year-old emblem are two more identifying features.
