Hello- Long time BMW GS rider. My 1250GS has all the bells and whistles, have always enjoyed riding the 1200&1250. But as I get older I miss the simplicity of motorcycles from days gone by. Recently rode a V85TT and wow, so enjoyable and actually had a key! Fast forward, sold my 1250 and about to take delivery of a new 2022 V85TT! Looking forward to a new chapter in life! Learning a lot here on this site, thanks for all the expertise!

Oh, one quick question; which V85TT Adv. is faster, the red or the yellow one? :)
 
Congratulations and Welcome!

Red, always Red. 😆

I know PRECISELY where you are. I grew up in El Cajon. Graduated from ECVHS.

Santee was truly a spit in the bucket back then. Maybe 500 people at most. We used to bicycle over there or if we wanted to really be in the boonies, we would ride over to Lakeside and visit one of the 50 people who lived there! 😆

Congrats (in advance) and welcome to the GT Forum and Guzzi Famiglia. You'll miss some of the power, and the gearing is a little short for SoCal, but I can make them run incredibly well if you are a non-stock guy. Plenty of info in the section linked below. Hope you'll add your info to our Registry there once it arrives.
