This 1975 Moto Guzzi 850T (S/N 93326) has extensive receipts for professional restoration work and a long list of components were replaced by the previous owner over 15 years time. The current seller has only had it about a year and has enjoyed it, but likes to keep his bikes and cars turning over frequently so that he can try new models. It is currently in solid riding shape with a recent tune-up at Moto Mechanica, and is now available in Wallace, California for $4900. Contact us at mail@throttleyard.com if you are interested.
This Guzzi currently has 22k miles and the seller says that its only needs are to have the speedo cable and the left taillight turn signal replaced. Alloy fenders were stripped of paint and polished and chrome side covers were added. These components set it apart from the usual monochromed big Guzzis, but still avoid the Police look. Crash bars, extra lighting, a new seat, and simple straight pipes were also added. Stopping performance was improved with a dual front disk upgrade.
Here is a list of mechanical items that have been replaced:
- New clutch
- New tires
- Rebuilt front shocks
- New Cables
- Steel-braided brake cables
- Electronic ignition & coils
The sale includes all the documentation for the work mentioned as well as a Moto Guzzi factory repair manual. The bike also has a clear California title and registration paid through 7/8/2011. Check out the additional photos in the Flickr album slide-show below.

Hard to defend diligent maintenance when he won’t replace a a cable and a light bulb before trying to sell it. C’mon, dude!
Does anybody know what the curb weight is on this bike?
It looks heavier than my old Mini.
@Ron, it is…
I have to agree with Nigel. Odd choice not to fix those things first. Maybe he can’t source the correct signal.
Dave, I’d have a hard time righting that one if it ever went on it’s side.
Ron, BikeZ.com is claiming a curb weight of 563 lbs, wet, but no fuel. This unit has the added crash and light bars, so you can add that to the equation.
So, yeah, if she goes over on you, and you’re alone, you pretty much just leave her where she lays.
Mick Walkers manual lists the weight at 477lbs which seems closer to the mark. The Tonti framed Guzzis ride wonderfully and are very reliable. (I have a V7-Sport)
This has the twin front discs which is a plus.
Definitely put the original front fender back on and remove all the CHIP’s stile clutter and you will have a great bike.

I have a 4 cyl 750 honda, it has at least 100 pounds on this, it’s heavy but you can get it up on 2 wheels if its on it side
I was kidding olgraybeard – just a little hyperbole…
These are very stable bikes and can make
very cool “cafe” racers with just a few changes.
Just google Guzzi 750 S or 1973 V-7 sport
