Mighty clean-looking 850T on CL
« on: May 07, 2018, 11:19:02 AM »
Waaay out on LI:

https://longisland.craigslist.org/mcy/d/1975-moto-guzzi/6576593201.html

That's not a pleasant drive out to where it is (at least getting thru the city isn't), but it might go cheap. Exhaust looks like it's missing the crossover section????

The pictures are terrible and the price a bit high, but might be worth a look and an offer from someone local with a trailer and some cash in hand ....

I'd think you could have it in pretty good shape for $4500..

Or one could just buy Lance's, that is already done, and just ride...

The one linked to appears to have early 1000 SP mufflers mounted directly to the headpipes. Makes me wonder what else has been done half-arsed. Then there are the chrome bores, etc., etc.

Alt cover and (possibly) the sidestand are MIA.

Wasn't sure about that, guess that's a consideration. I couldn't find another example of that color scheme, looks like a 1000s; was that an original T scheme?

No, not an original 850-T color scheme. Someone was "inspired by" a 750S is my guess.

Lance will also entertain trade offers like DRZ400s, WR250, DR650 or similar for his 850T as he is in need of a small to mid sized street legal dual sport.

Damn that's nice. If I were in the market for another 850T I'd jump on it. I even like the brown.
