    As a long time Guzzi fan, yes, they are addictive. Wish they hadn’t lightened the flywheel on the later models, but I guess that’s just what the market wants. Haven’t tried a 270 crank in a parallel twin yet, but I can see why did they - just trying to make the power come through like a Guzzi 😄 (sorry Mr Turner, but you’ve been out evolved!)

    The manual simply says that fuel vapors may cause damage to objects... Objects like your cell phone. In no way is the manual even remotely suggesting that your phone could ignite the vapors. But the vapors do indeed have solvent properties (hold Styrofoam above a jar of gasoline without touching the gas and you'll see that the vapors alone begin to damage the Styrofoam).

    • @ph0rd
      @ph0rd Před 5 měsíci

      So.. It's just warning you that fuel vapors can damage and weaken your phone (like acetone vapors do). If attorneys wanted the message in the manual, it's because they want to avoid law suits from people melting their phones and tablets, etc. Lol

    Subbed Sir . Thanks from the Uk . That horrible bio fuel causes all sorts of trouble , with our older bikes in particular , which need new fuel lines and tap/filters made to take the bio stuff to be fitted . A friend with a Commando buys non bio fuel at a station near to a race track ( Castle Combe , outside of Bristol ) , but that is a quite a few miles out of his usual routes . There he can get Avgas , I think that is over 95 octane , but the bio stuff , even the highest octane , causes blockages if it is not used up in two weeks , whatever fuel 'stabilizer' is used . This guy is a Rolls Royce engineer , so no fool and his word can be trusted . Fog lights and driving lamps are controlled differently , I mean the fogs light with dip and driving lamps light with main beam . Is your Guzzi wired for both ? Are you allowed in the States to have both fog and driving lamps fitted ; I am fairly sure in the UK we are only allowed one or the other , but I repeat ... is the Guzzi set up to take either ? I ask as I am lusting after the TT Travel ! Cheers .

    Ive taken my 125cc maxi scooter offroad. It doesn’t like it but it gets me there. Even carrying my wife on the back to get to some remote beaches where I live. I laugh seeing reviewers saying the 19” tyres are not enough for offroad use. Another funny thing is hearing them complain about power. I can’t wait till I have enough saved up for the v85tt. Its going to be so much better than my scooter on the roads we have.

    This fellows impressions riding the TT mirrors my experience. One thing I would add, my area has a fair amount of twistiness. The tt is a very pleasant ride with a very neutral handling characteristic on pavement. Focus on most ride vids seem to be on its off-road abilities.... For me its just like an SUV vs say a Jeep (The off-road styled factory rigs). It handles fireroads and mild trails a bit better than pure street bike. However it will pound out the miles on the pavement Like a horse with no name.

    On the Iphone the volume works. But Now I switch to Android aswell. Also to start voice command on the iphone I was just pressing the heated grip button (I don't have heated grips but the button was used for this autoamtically). I am not convinced about this. Mouting the phone on a bar above the display and using the MIA only for engine monitoring (like engine temp taht is not available on the normal display) seems to be the way I use it only. Also I have had experiences of music not coming through properly after the dealer did a firmware upgrade.... I gave up on the music via the MIA and the navigation.... I gave up aswell as My Tomtom was much more efficeint and had offline maps. I would just like to have Apple/Android Carplay (the same as on the Africa twin 1100) That would be much more usefull. I also found tha tthe documentation was very scarse.

  • @guillaumecrance2213

    I totally agree with you on all aspects : This is a very sweet ride that is "alive". In addition, it is not a BMW GS850, so the savages would not want to steal it. And by the way BMW do not make any more reasonnable small displacement bikes with such a noble engine configuration (true V Twin, air cooled, shaft drive, wintage style and driving mood) with all the modern advantages (EURO5, cruise control, 6 Gears, usefull TFT display, less that 250kg wet) and so simple to use (never more than 2 steps to get to any features in the display menus). The exhaust catalyser is a bit hot in the summer, but on the other hand the exhaust is not noisy enough to upset the sleepy neighbours. Even Honda stopped making a true V twin with shaft drive and reasonnable usability. Thanks to Moto Guzzi for this, and thank you for celebrating it.
