Hey Vincent, the 850T…dull? lol That bike defined a generation of motorcycles. You’ll be very lucky to find an 850T as the factory only produced it for about 6 months. I was replaced by the 850T3 later the same year.

Basically, if you want to achieve something similar to this stunner, buy any Tonti framed Moto Guzzi…the V1000G5, the T3, the SP1000, the 850T5, so many of them you could use. In many cases parts are interchangeable too!

Good luck with your project and let us know how you get on.
Joe

It’s a beautiful bike. Certain colors do represent time periods in motorcycle history. I mean, we don’t see too many brown, candy teal, or mint green new bikes running around, do we?
