Moto Guzzi T3 description

 Up for auction is this barn-find 1975 Moto Guzzi 850 T3.  

In the words of Richard Backus from Motorcycle Classics: "The 850T had only been on the market a year before Moto Guzzi introduced what many consider its best motorcycle. Introduced in 1975, the improved 850 T3 (the “3” signifying the triple-disc brakes) was in many ways the most important Moto Guzzi made in the Seventies. Lighter than the touring-oriented California and far more sporting than the also new 949cc, 2-speed semi-automatic Convert, the 1975 Moto Guzzi 850 T3 was the bridge between the Moto Guzzi V7 Sport and Guzzi’s larger touring bikes."

I gave it a bath, and here it is.  I have not tried to get it to run.  The engine turns over, is not frozen.  The pictures should tell the story.  It was parked running many years ago.

Engine and frame numbers match.  It is a 1975 model, although it's titled as a '76.

It comes with a notarized, ready to transfer Ohio Title.

Note the Lester wheels, which are unique and quite sought after.  The gas tank is solid with light corrosion inside, very usable.

The ignition switch is non-original, and there is no key, although I'm told it will be found.  Also one of the spark plugs broke when trying to remove it, and the base is stuck in the head.

In the right hands, this bike could once again live as an original 70's classic, or as a cool custom cafe bike.

I can assist with shipping, and may be able to deliver in the Cleveland, OH area.

Please ask all questions before bidding.  Feel free to call 440-382-8228

Thanks for looking !

Few believe that the true spirit of the Moto Guzzi brand is hidden in the sports cars of the 1970s and 1980s. But they are still in demand. Here is a great example of this from the Hamburg workshop Kaffeemaschine.
