Just had a moment of madness and bought TT21 GUZ to go on my new bike. Never really been into registrations, but this one jumped out at me.
Had a nosey on Teasdale's Facebook account. Bike looks great, lovely colour scheme (assuming it's the green and blue? one.

It's coming today.
Well, there's definately some improvement in the way the 2021 V85 delivers it's power. It now pulls cleanly and strongly from 3000rpm and whips through the gears in sport mode. Much better on those 40-60mph 50-70mph overtakes. It doesn't feel as though it's going to have any more top end grunt, but low to mid range is certainly improved. Not that there was anything wrong with the finish, but it seems even better in some areas.
The gear change indicator never really bothered me, but the gear position number now shows when the clutch is pulled in.
Tubeless wheels look great, sadly the Y piece from the 19-20 models will not fit the 21 model. Anybody want one. Overall some nice improvement and it looks brilliant in the flesh. I'd post some pics, but don't know how.

I can pm you an email address if you can send to that and I'll put them on
What has been changed on the exhaust system to stop the Y piece fitting?
The 02 censers are now positioned near to the exhaust ports and the downpipes are shorter.
Thanks, useful to know when looking for bits.
Mine has the same colour scheme.

It looks great on the 1100Tenni, originally taken from the 1955 V8 race bike. I am seriously considering having my 1200 2V sport painted in the same colours.
Got it wrong on the down pipes, they're not shorter as they first appeared to be. In fact, the downpipes and Cat are all one piece.
That makes getting rid of the cat a bit more of a challenge.

That could be linked to emissions conformity thing. (Euro5?).
Mistral do a header set and Y piece for the 19/20 models so probably not beyond their wit to move the O2 sensor and either join them together or just sell together as two-piece.
My V85 Centenario is here, well it's at the dealers. Due for delivery next week. Apparently it looks stunning in the flesh and the pictures don't do it justice.
It's in the window at Teasdales, I'm going to have to show great restraint not to go and have a look.
What did you do with your previous bike, trade it in? I have a very good friend looking for one at the moment and I trying to help him with his mission.
