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 ! |

2022 Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello First Look
Tue, 23 Nov 2021First production motorcycle with active aerodynamics After teasing us with a preview of the new 2022 Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello in September, the Piaggio Group released further details on the new sport-touring model at EICMA. The Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello is named for the brand’s 100th anniversary and its historic home in Mandello del Lario, Italy, but it comes packed with features that point more to the brand’s future than its past. The V100 Mandello boasts the world’s first adaptive aerodynamics system for a production motorcycle, and it is also the first Moto Guzzi to be equipped with a liquid-cooled engine, quick shift, six-axis inertial measurement unit (IMU) and, for the higher trim option, semi-active suspension.
2020 Moto Guzzi V85 TT Review – First Ride
Thu, 21 Mar 2019Moto Guzzi heritage with an injection of modernity in a retro-styled package Credit: Photos by Milagro The Paris-Dakar rally, a true test of endurance, the ultimate adventure. I’m referring to, of course, the Paris-Dakar of old, when it ran from France to the west African capital of Senegal, Dakar. It was a time when men were men and women were women and the rally itself was more of an adventure, where “winning” was simply finishing.
EICMA 2013: Moto Guzzi V7 Series Updates
Tue, 05 Nov 2013Not to be left out of the 2013 EICMA show announcements, Moto Guzzi has announced its changes for the three models that make up the V7 line. Known for their 1970s-inspired style, the V7s are built, according to Moto Guzzi press materials, “to three fundamental pillars: the 90° transverse V-twin, the timeless double cradle frame and the renowned cardan shaft final drive.” Well, one of these pillars gets a functional update for 2014. The engine now utilizes a wet flywheel instead of the previous dry alternator.
