Obi-Wan Kenobi chooses the Moto Guzzi V85 TT
Well known Moto Guzzi aficionado and actor Ewan McGregor has been helping to market the latest offering from Mandello del Lario - the new V85 TT.
Known for his round the world motorcycling adventures, oh, and some movie roles he's had apparently (!), McGregor has been enjoying a way more important role recently, featuring in the launch of a global advertising campaign for the all-terrain capable 80 hp 90° V-twin that is taking the famous Italian brand into the large enduro touring segment.
This is not the first time that McGregor has worked on a Guzzi launch, having been involved in the 2013 launch of the California 1400. The manufacturer says that more than 10,000 test rides were booked for the new model before it was available. McGregor's latest starring role was in the launch shoot commercials and stills for the bike in Southern Sardinia.
Whether it is a night out at the Moulin Rouge, a salmon fishing trip to the Yemen, or bar hopping in downtown Coruscant, Moto Guzzi says that "the V85 TT is the classic enduro dedicated to travel and tourism that provides ultra-modern performance and technologies in a style rich in Moto Guzzi values and tradition".
