Most notably, the 2020 bike gets a striking new paint scheme which Moto Guzzi is calling Sabbia Namib. In Italian, Sabbia means sand, so I assume Moto Guzzi is trying to evoke images of the golden sands of the Namib Desert, made all the more eye catching by a red and black stripe on the fuel tank. It’s a colour scheme that will likely divide opinion, but for what it’s worth, I think it looks incredible.
Beyond the new paint job, the V85 TT Travel edition gets heated grips, two side cases with 64.5l of storage between them, and a pair of LED spotlights. And, most welcome of all, the motorcycle gets a larger touring screen. I tested the V85 TT at the press launch back in the spring and my one gripe about an otherwise excellent motorcycle was the tiny stock screen.
I found myself clinging onto the handlebars at speeds above 60mph as the wind smashed into my body and face.
Thankfully, Moto Guzzi has addressed this with a screen that is 60% larger than the original.
The V85 TT is already a very good adventure touring bike. However, when you combine the standard motorcycle’s 23l fuel tank, shaft drive, cruise control, all-day comfort, and punchy engine that oozes character, with the additional special edition accessories, you have a bike equipped and ready to take you on your next adventure straight from the dealership floor.
