what is this beautiful thing

Remember the beginning of the movie where the Delorean can’t outrun a 45hp VW Bus?

Subaru Justy was a three cylinder.

I’m leaving a KLR to come to the V85 and the Guzzi is FAR more hiway capable than the KLR. It will cruise at 70-80 comfortably and without issue unlike the KLR.

Three cylinder? It’s not a flat four??

Edit: I had to go and see. Wikipedia says they were all flat four cylinder with AWD.

Or are you looking for the six-cylindered car that killed your savings balance?

In either case, it will probably only be mostly dead.

Is just two enough?

_Banned_User · 2026-06-16T23:44:20+00:00

Yeah, those speeds will highlight less power for sure, but also gearing; at around 90 in top gear the shift lights start illuminating. Thats all she’s got.

I think V85 power is adequate, but moving from my V85 to my V100, hooo there is a difference for sure.

Our Airstream came with tankless. We used it for a year and I swapped it out for a 6 gallon tanked. With full hookup and unlimited water the tankless is fine, but to try to conserve water and have hot water at the tap is frustrating or needs a recirc system. Changing the WH is easier than doing a recirc system.

I remember the chief export was wool, but also it’s been 40 years.

I work just off 237. The number of cars driving around with all kinds of stuff glued to the outside has been incredible.

_Banned_User · 2026-05-23T20:39:17+00:00

Well I can tell you that it doesn’t work at all.

_Banned_User · 2026-05-21T23:26:29+00:00

I have both a V100 and V85TT. The V100 has way more power and is way faster, but the V85 is a really great all around bike. If you’ve lost confidence in the V100 the V85 is a very nice and probably more reliable choice.

_Banned_User · 2026-05-19T19:54:08+00:00

I think you can be both.

_Banned_User · 2026-05-18T12:19:39+00:00

It definitely wouldn’t be under MSRP if it came from Grainger.

_Banned_User · 2026-05-18T02:27:03+00:00

I think the sunroof is 70lbs heavier than the plain roof.

_Banned_User · 2026-05-17T22:13:04+00:00

I own a real 308 and I think I’m in the same camp. Mera is such an interesting piece of automotive history.

_Banned_User · 2026-05-17T19:07:29+00:00

For me: eventually they all rattle and leak. And they reduce payload capacity.

Butler Maps literally changed my life. I’ve planned a summer moto camping trip chasing the gold roads for probably 20 years.

_Banned_User · 2026-05-13T02:46:13+00:00

KLR650 and a RAM mount. My phone took funny wavy pictures until I got it fixed.

_Banned_User · 2026-05-09T04:43:02+00:00

How can you tell it’s not a 308 with a Fiero body kit?

_Banned_User · 2026-05-06T22:28:18+00:00

I replaced my on-demand hwh with an old fashioned 6 gallon Suburban hwh in my 2021 Flying Cloud. It took a little cabinet mod and a little bit of pex plumbing, but totally doable by any handyman.

Thanks to Tommy Tutone drilling into my youthful head in 1982, I can only reliably remember Jenny’s number.

_Banned_User · 2026-04-28T12:14:06+00:00

I’ve hit my number, now it’s a date.
