  • Early 850cc version of the classic Moto Guzzi transverse V -twin

Moto Guzzi was established in 1921 by three friends from the Italian Air Corps and is Europes oldest motorcycle manufacturer in continuous production, based in the same factory in Mandello del Lario overlooking Lake Como ever since. Always innovative they were very successful in Grand Prix racing with products as diverse as the 350cc horizontal single that won five world championships in a row to the incredible 500c V8. After mainly producing single-cylinder designs for their road bikes Guzzi launched the 750cc V7 in 1969 to satisfy the demand for larger capacity bikes and the iconic transverse shaft drive vee twin layout has now become Guzzis signature design. The bike was used by many police forces around the world and was that good in its day it even tempted the famous ‘CHIPS’ California Highway Patrol to move over from Harleys in the 1970s.

This 1972 850GT has been part of an Italian bike enthusiast's small private collection since 2015 and is only being sold as he is now downsizing. Bought by the vendor in Germany and mainly used in Poland whilst working there, it was brought into the UK in 2019 and has only seen careful pleasure use since. The bike has been restored to a very high standard keeping a good degree of originality including its distinctive double-sided 4 leading shoe front brake in a Boriani alloy rim. Beautifully presented in Black with White pinstriping and a matching California style saddle, it has been serviced by Italian bike specialist Made in Italy Motorcycles of Stowmarket. The bike comes with a spare dual seat, centre stand and engine has been fitted with a neat canister style oil filter kit, it comes with an MOT until November 2023, together with a current V5C.
