Browse used OEM parts for the Moto Guzzi V85 TT at Sun Coast Cycle Sports. Introduced in 2019, the V85 TT is Moto Guzzi's modern adventure-touring motorcycle powered by an all-new 853cc air-cooled transverse 90-degree V-twin producing approximately 80 horsepower with 80 Nm of torque. The V85 TT represents a new chapter for Moto Guzzi, with a purpose-built engine that is not derived from the older 750cc small-block or 1200cc big-block V-twin families. Available in standard and Travel variants, the V85 TT features three ride modes, traction control, cornering ABS, cruise control, and a TFT color dashboard. Each part in our inventory has been verified, individually photographed, and ships from our Odessa, Florida facility.
V85 TT generation and parts compatibility

| V85 TT | 2019-present | 853cc air-cooled 2V V-twin, ~80 hp | Steel tubular frame, 19"/17" wheels, shaft drive, TFT dash |
| V85 TT Travel | 2020-present | 853cc air-cooled 2V V-twin, ~80 hp | Adds aluminum panniers, tall windscreen, heated grips, fog lights, center stand |
The V85 TT has been in continuous production since 2019 with periodic updates to electronics and features. The Travel variant adds touring-focused accessories but shares every mechanical component with the standard V85 TT. The V85 TT's 853cc engine is a completely new design, purpose-built for this model. It shares no internal components with the older Moto Guzzi engine families: not the 744cc V7/Nevada small-block, not the 1,064cc V11/Breva/California 1100 medium block, and not the 1,151cc Griso/Norge/Stelvio big-block 8V. It uses Moto Guzzi's traditional transverse V-twin layout with longitudinal crankshaft and shaft final drive, but with all-new engineering throughout including a compact alternator position, revised oil circuit, and modern emissions compliance.
The V85 TT's steel tubular frame, 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wire-spoke wheels, and adventure-touring bodywork are all unique to this model. The Kayaba suspension (41mm USD fork front, preload-adjustable monoshock rear) and Brembo brake package are V85 TT-specific configurations.
Common V85 TT failure points and replacement parts
Limited documented systemic issues: As a relatively new model still in production and benefiting from modern Piaggio Group manufacturing processes, the V85 TT does not have the extensive failure history of older Guzzi models. The ownership community reports generally good reliability with standard maintenance.
ECU software calibration: Some early 2019-2020 V85 TT units benefited from dealer-applied ECU software updates to improve throttle response at low RPM and refine the ride mode calibration. If purchasing a used early V85 TT, confirming that the latest software revision has been installed is recommended.
Shaft drive spline maintenance: Like all shaft-drive Guzzis, the V85 TT requires periodic spline greasing at service intervals. Adventure use (loaded panniers, rough terrain) increases drivetrain stress compared to typical road riding.
Windscreen vibration: Some owners report windscreen flutter at certain speeds on the standard-height screen. The Travel model's taller windscreen may exhibit different aerodynamic characteristics. Aftermarket windscreen options in various heights are available.

Frequently asked questions
Q: Does the V85 TT share parts with other Moto Guzzi models
The V85 TT's 853cc engine is a completely new design that shares no internal components with any older Moto Guzzi engine family. Some ancillary components (brake pads, generic switches, fasteners) may cross over with other current Piaggio Group products, but the engine, frame, and model-specific components are unique to the V85 TT platform. When sourcing used parts, another V85 TT is the only compatible donor for engine and chassis components.
Q: Is the V85 TT related to the Stelvio 1200
Both are adventure-touring motorcycles with the signature Moto Guzzi transverse V-twin and shaft drive, but they use completely different engines and frames. The Stelvio uses the 1,151cc four-valve engine from the Griso/Norge family, while the V85 TT has an all-new 853cc engine with two-valve heads. No mechanical parts interchange between the two models.
Q: What is the difference between the V85 TT and V85 TT Travel
The Travel variant adds factory aluminum panniers with mounting hardware, a taller windscreen for improved touring protection, heated grips, LED fog lights, and a center stand. All mechanical components (engine, frame, suspension, brakes, shaft drive, electronics) are identical between the standard and Travel. Parts interchange freely between the two variants, and the Travel-specific accessories can be added to a standard V85 TT.
