Tom M Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 http://motori.ilmessaggero.it/speciale_eicma/moto_guzzi_v85_concept_enduro_stile_classico_vintage_rappresenta_futuro_aquile-3349933.html "MILAN - Moto Guzzi brings Eicma 2017 a bike that represents a turning point for the brand. This is a prototype, called V85 Concept, which embodies a new enduro concept of classic and vintage style. Call the bikes of the 1980s and is designed to travel by putting the wheels where the asphalt ends and the adventure begins. At the same time, however, he wants to be an ideal companion even in the daily life, preambulating it agile and versatile. With her debuting a 90 ° 90-turn, 90 ° twin-cylinder five-cylinder, air cooled, capable of delivering an 80 hp power and many torque at low speeds . It is a propulsion around which, according to Moto Guzzi, a new range of motorcycles will be built at Mandello del Lario. This is why the V85 Concept will not be a prototype end to itself, but the anticipation of a motorcycle that we will soon see on the road. It is likely to hypothesize that around this 80-hp engine will be able to develop motorcycles of different segments, all of which are always associated with the style that distinguishes the Moto Guzzi."

brubache Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Interesting notices: Cant see any plug wires... edit: Now i see them. They have a fancy black cover on them and route around the front. Interesting. I didnt see the MG logo in the headlights at first. I like that! Judging by the shock mounted on the right side and not inboard it would seem that this bad boy may have a pretty large fuel tank. Cable actuated clutch Tank is very wide at its angled lower section. Is that an air intake on the side of the tank at the front? Interesting. Ohlins all around. Doesn't look like the rear is adaptive. Perhaps the front is. I see no adjustments on the top of the front forks. edit. I see cruise control button on the left and ride modes on the right. fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
