If straight-line speed is your priority, the V85 TT takes the lead. With 8 HP more than the Tenere 700 World Raid, it offers a more spirited ride that will be noticeable on highway overtakes or track days. When it comes to agility, the Tenere 700 World Raid has a clear advantage. Weighing in 9kg less than the V85 TT, it will feel significantly easier to handle in low-speed traffic, parking maneuvers, and twisty corners. Riders with a shorter inseam should lean towards the V85 TT. Its seat height is 60mm lower than the Tenere 700 World Raid, making it much easier to flat-foot at stoplights and increasing confidence during stops. Bottom Line: It's a close call. Choose the v85-tt if you prefer its specific styling and ergonomics, or the tenere700 if you want the alternative brand character.
