Title: Seen on Craigslist -overpriced 850T?
Post by: berniebee on August 05, 2021, 09:48:17 AM: Obviously the seller is a Guzzi fan and he's put some money into it, but is anyone going to pay $11K for customized 850T?

But a very nice looking bike, indeed!

The other scenario is, "Yes dear, I put the bike up for sale but nobody's interested."

The lines and proportions are good, too. Not all cafe racer builders understand that.

A wee bit pricey for me, though.......

750 S side covers.

The side covers are new repro style of the V7 Sport tool box lids but they are fixed and have no tool box locks. The 750S used the V7 Sport tool box backs (as did the 850T) and the lids were similar to the 850T but no louvres punched in the lids.
