Moto Guzzi 850 T3 description
1975 Moto Guzzi 850-T
Built in August 1974 as a 1975 model. 4 stroke twin 844cc with 2 Dell'Orto VHB carbs producing 68hp/54 ft lb torque. Electric start, shaft drive, 5 speed gearbox, front disc/rear drum brakes. First year for the Tonti frame (named after Moto Guzzi's chief engineer, Lino Tonti and this is where the T in the 850 "T" came from). Matching frame and engine numbers and a clear title.
I purchased the bike with the intent to rebuild and sell it, which is what I'm doing. I kept the non stock, somewhat cruiser look, while rebuilding the mechanicals/electrics. Along with the bike, comes the owners manual, shop manual, parts catalog and other literature such as club magazines, etc and the original tool kit, as pictured.
The gas tank, seat, seat mounting hardware/bracketry, fenders, side covers, handlebar, headlight, tail light, valve covers and exhaust pipes are non standard 850-T.
Parts replaced with new:
- All switch gear (low/high beam, horn, coils on/off, start, blinkers)
- Battery
- Spark plug wires
- Spark plugs
- Spark plug caps
- Left carb choke assembly
- Engine oil pan gasket
- Front upper and lower brake lines
- Front brake caliper and pads
- Fuel lines from tank to carbs and carb to carb
- Throttle cables (left and right)
- Throttle assembly
- Handle bar grips
- Molex connectors
Work done:
- Removed surface oxidation, cleaned and polished much of the bike's areas
- Removed many parts, cleaned, verified operation, lubricated and reinstalled
- Repainted frame, handlebar and certain linkage parts
- Repainted numerous other parts (see pix)
- Rewired electrics
- Removed all inline splices
- Set point gaps and verified point timing
- Adjusted rear brakes
- 130psi compression from both cylinders
- Rebuilt carbs (o-rings/gaskets) and thoroughly cleaned all jets, orifices, ports, etc, set float height, inspected all internal parts, reinstalled, adjusted and sync'd
- Compounded and polished gas tank and fenders
- Adjusted clutch cable and re-routed for easier pull (cable is OEM but looks long due to non OEM handle bars)
- Overhauled speedo cable

Issues:
- Oil leak that comes out the vent hole in the bottom of the bell housing, you'll get a few drops after a run. Would recommend changing the seal when performing an engine overall.
- Looks like gas was spilled on the right front of the gas tank and started to liquify the paint (see pix)
- General paint chips here and there
- Other than that, there are no known issues.
Bike starts right up, runs/shifts well, plenty of torque & has a great sound. Local pickup or buyer pays shipping.

2019 Moto Guzzi V9 Bobber Sport Revealed
Fri, 07 Sep 2018Arrives in US dealerships in December, priced at $10,690 Moto Guzzi revealed a new, sportier variant of its V9 Bobber at its open house event in Mandello del Lario, Italy. The 2019 Moto Guzzi V9 Bobber Sport adds Öhlins rear shocks, a single seat, lower drag bars and a sportier riding position than the regular V9 Bobber. This overlay of the two models illustrates the key differences between the two models: The footpegs are further back and slightly higher for a sportier riding position, but not aggressively so.
Charge Up you iPhone While You Ride
Fri, 12 Feb 2010Motorcyclists can now enjoy total freedom on the open road confident in the knowledge that their cell phones, GPS, MP3 players and latest generation of iPhone/iTouch devices will remain fully-charged and in-service for the duration of the ride thanks to Powerlet’s plug and play systems. “Our product line was inspired by personal experience and the realization that there were no worthwhile options for clean, reliable on-board power for cell phones, stereos and GPS devices,” says Powerlet Products founder Adam Bonislawaski. “Before we came on to the scene, riders would bust out the black tape and wire strippers and cut into their bike’s fragile wiring to tie-in a cheap cigar lighter to power their devices.
