Moto Guzzi 850T description

1975 Moto Guzzi 850T with the following enhancements:
1000cc cylinders (more grunt!)
"T2" conversion (dual front disc brakes, with stainless braided lines), greatly improves braking feel and stopping power)
Premium wheel bearings front and rear including driveshaft/spline bearings.
Permanent Magnet Gear Reduction (PMGR) high torque starter (cranks engine faster, uses less power to do it)
Barnett Clutch.
Bar-end turn signals (visible from both the front and rear, eliminating the need for rear turn signal stalks.)
Avon RoadRider tires front and rear (excellent condition)
IKON rear shocks (adjustable)
Helical cam gear conversion (rock solid cam/ignition timing, smoother more stable idle,  no more timing chain worries, eliminating the terrible stock timing chain tensioner that never worked.)
Solid state adjustable voltage high current voltage regulator.
Dyna-S Electronic Ignition (no more points!)
BMW mufflers (nice deep throaty tone, (has additional baffles currently installed, can be removed if you wish for louder pipes),  see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1TOemDfR8E)
Powder coated frame (Black Lava frame, Black side covers, black highlights on crash bars, triple trees, etc)
Blacked out engine (it just looks sexier in my opinion)

Notes for full disclosure:
There are a few minor scratches on the tank where the seat meets it.
There's a small ding in the tank on the right front side,  its very shallow and hard to see unless you get the light on it just the right way.
There are a few minor paint chips on the engine.  A can of paint (PJ-11 flat black engine paint) used to paint the engine will be provided for any future touch ups if needed.

Get on and RIDE!

Why am I selling?  I personally love this bike,  however I'm pretty tall (6'3") with long legs and this bike fits someone shorter better than it fits me, this should fit anyone from 5'6" upwards.  I also have a pile of medical bills that need to be paid and hopefully parting with "my baby" will cover them all.  Health is more important than my bike,  I can always build another one next time around.

The 850's are getting rare, and finding a pretty one like this is like finding hen's teeth.

On completion of auction, a NON REFUNDABLE deposit of $100 by paypal within 48 hours of auction completion will be required, otherwise I reserve the right to sell to the next bidder in line.  Balance of payment by CASH or CASHIERS (bank) CHECK, preferrably drawn on a local or nationwide USA bank only.  Don't ask for any other payment options.

Shipping/Pickup  is the responsibility of the buyer.  I can ride to a local dealer within 30 miles if you wish to arrange shipping details with them (payment must be completed in FULL before shipping).  The bike is located about 30 minutes south of Rochester, NY.

Piaggio Multimedia Platform iPhone Connectivity Announced for Piaggio X10 Maxi-Scooter

Thu, 05 Jul 2012

Piaggio announced a new iPhone connectivity system set to debut on its new X10 maxi-scooter. The Piaggio Multimedia Platform (PMP) will be available as a kit for the 125cc, 350cc and 500cc versions of the Piaggio X10, and eventually may be introduced to other models in the Piaggio Group (which would include the brands Aprilia, Moto Guzzi and Vespa.) Designed by Re:Lab, the PMP system  turns an iPhone into an onboard computer and secondary display. The kit mounts the iPhone over the Piaggio insignia on the center of the X10′s handlebar which, from the rider’s perspective, puts it just below the scooter’s standard instruments.
