Moto Guzzi 850-T description
|
1975 Moto Guzzi 850-T When Engineering and Design Harmonize Tonti was allowed to design and build his ideal bike. A strong, balanced bike was the result. The design elements have certainly stood the test of time. A modern cult classic. Overall Description - This bike came from a pretty serious collector. He has a good eye and far too many bikes to ride. It was owned before that by a father son team who restored it about 10 years ago. They started with a pretty well preserved original and focused on the fundamentals. It has obvious signs of use, but overall presents very well. Following link is to all pictures -      Mechanicals - It had not been ridden in awhile when I acquired the bike as part of a group of 3. I immediately took it to a shop and had them make sure it was ready to ride. The tank was in great shape so, it was just flushed. Carbs were rebuilt and new stacks and air filters purchased and installed. Some wiring issues were corrected and the coils were upgraded to Dyna coils and mounted accordingly. The mechanic felt it will needed one more tuning of the carbs. He had to move to California before he could get to this.
   
Shiny Bits - The wheels are in excellent shape. So are the brakes and calipers. I believe the mufflers are replacements. They suit the bike well and are in like new condition. The tires show almost no wear, but are probably about 10 years old.
    Tank, Gauges & Bars - The bar end mirrors are also aftermarket. They suit the bike so well, they look meant for it. The ignition cover and key hole have the pretty typical signs of use. Gauges demonstrate a bike with a pampered life. The tank and side covers are in very good rider condition. BTW, side covers were reversed in photo. Let's just say I had some help! There is a small wear mark on the tank caused and hidden by the seat.     Numbers matching - Engine numbers match the VIN plate. How about that VIN? Simpler times.   Bidding Shipping, Q&A - My goal was to be thorough in my description and use of photos. I tried to mimic the process of investigating the bike in person. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. (816) 786-7534. Reserve - I will keep this unlisted out of respect for the bidding process. Please take the bidding process as the serious contract to purchase that it is. Simply bid the amount you feel comfortable investing a classic bike preserved and restored to this condition. Shipping - pickup or transport is the responsibility of the buyer. I will make sure it is easy on this end. Many thanks for looking. Good luck bidding! |
