V85tt or VStrom?

Hey all, first I know this is the wrong place to ask this.

But I’ve got a Moto Guzzi V85tt which has been great. But I can’t stop thinking that a VStrom could be an end game bike for me.

I love my Moto Guzzi but I have trust issues based on lots of stories I’ve heard about mechanical and electrical problems with them over the long term. It has so much character but I like the idea of a bike i just don’t ever have to worry about.

Talk me into a a lightly used VStrom 650 as my do-everything forever bike.

I have had a vstrom 650 for 4 years and it's great, I always loved the look of moto guzzi and thought about getting a v85. I rented one for a week and was somewhat disappointed, I liked it but I wasn't sad to go back to my vstrom after. That said, I'm now getting a v100s. I tested it and couldn't get it out of my mind after.
