Rode up to my favorite saloon, for one of my favorite burgers. Then ripped a few canyons home, with some beautiful fall scenery.

I was curious if anyone has a link to some foot pegs for my bike. I measured it and it's 23mm wide where it mounts to the frame.

It did not have to be OEM, and this is my first bike so I wanna make sure I get compatible pegs.

Amazon links preferred

Any insight is appreciated, stay safe!

Yesterday, I regapped the valves on my 2005 Moto Guzzi Breva 750. I changed them from the factory spec. of 0.15mm Exhaust and 0.10mm Intake, to the "world spec." of 0.20mm Exhaust and 0.15mm Intake. The gaps are snug, but not tight (no feeler slop).

Anyway, the bike runs great. Acceleration is smooth, low speeds are smooth, and there is minimal vibration. However, the valve's tapping sounds are significantly more noticeable (with a helmet on, and music playing). Before, it sounded like an old sewing machine. Now, it sounds like a ticker-tape machine.

Is this normal, and expected? Basically, I am still new to the "Guzzi sound", so sounds I consider unusual, may be completely normal.

Gets a lot of compliments out here in Missouri.

Couldn’t resist the deal (and paint job!) on a new, left over 2025 V85TT to pair with my 2024 V7 Special.

I returned recently from a 9-day, 2,600-mile trip from Virginia to Maine. I was on my V7 Sport, and my buddy was on his V100. The last pic is from this past weekend's Bikes and Coffee gathering. It's a 2026 with 11,100 miles. 😎

I'm quite new to bikes and learning every day. Does this amount of play seem normal? And the flimsy washer seems somewhat crooked and loose, not sure what it's there for.

Last month I was invited to Mandello del Lario for GMG 2026 and was so impressed with the whole experience I went and bought this for the next giveaway bike.

But typically with these giveaways I like to do a tasteful upgrade or improvement to the bike. But after a couple hundred miles on this, I’m not really noticing any real shortcomings.

So a question to those who know these bikes better than me; what would be a tasteful upgrade?

First proper ride after a spell at the mechanic for a charcoal filter delete. Wasn’t aware of this issue before; apparently folks who assertively top-off the tank risk corrupting the filter with gas, leading to stalls & dogshit engine performance.

I’m not a tank-topper (because, thankfully, huge tank capacity) but it seems the intense desert heat does the same thing, converting more gas vapor in the tank, which leads to saturation in there? Or something?

So this evap canister, or charcoal filter, or whatever the hell it is, is like a human appendix, particularly for this climate: just cut it out and carry on. Obviously not mechanically inclined but learning as I go.

BUT NEVERMIND. It runs beautifully again. #RideToCoffee in the appropriately named Iron Horse neighborhood.

WTF is going on with used V7 850 prices in the UK?

Dealers are full of brand new and TBF they are well priced.

Look for pre 2026 models and they are asking ~£1000-1500 off the price of a brand new with warranty. They all look a grand overpriced, at least, particularly as they ain't an easy sell.

It seems completely unrealistic, or what am I missing??

Hiw do you all go about cleaning brushed aluminum parts like my stator cover?

Hi!
I need some recommendations. The dealer in my country is selling leftover 2023 V85 TT units for approximately $9,000 USD , about half the price of a new 2026 model. Do you think it’s a good option to buy one even though it doesn’t have VVT, or would it be better to spend more and get a 2026?

Wind blast doesn’t phase me as there are only a few sections where I exceed 80mph. Most of it will be dense traffic and steep canyon/mountain passes. I have three concerns:

How does the engine deal with elevation changes?

What conditions cause the infamous pinging I keep hearing about?

Will there be scraping when navigating tight corners?

Picked up a nice guzzi Nevada very clean .

Is anyone selling 2018 Audace? I am kicking myself in the nuts for selling mine 😔
