Moto Guzzi V85

Italian motorcycle manufacturer Moto Guzzi are the latest brand to add a retro treatment to one of their bikes. Styled like enduros from the 80s, the new Moto Guzzi V85 has retro styling cues inspired by the historic Guzzis that took part in African rally raids. This uniquely designed adventure-tourer is said to deliver around 80 hp from its 850 cc v-twin engine housed in a bright-red frame that we´re told is inspired by traditional enduro bikes. The V85 also has a tall, off-road style front mudguard, twin headlights and a 1980s inspired paint scheme. It certainly looks the part.
