Recent shaft drive component sourced directly from Moto Guzzi
Accompanied by an original period copy of Motociclismo magazine featuring a road test of the model
The Appeal
The Moto Guzzi 850 T5 is a characterful Italian tourer, powered by Guzzi's trademark transverse V-twin and driven through a shaft final drive, a combination that has earned a devoted following among motorcyclists who value mechanical simplicity, long-distance comfort, and distinctive character.
This 1986 example is reported to retain its original paintwork and has been regularly maintained by a specialist. Recent work includes a shaft drive component sourced directly from Moto Guzzi, a new battery, and professional re-upholstering of the seat. A few minor cosmetic details are honestly disclosed: a slight scratch on the tank from a magnetic tank bag, a rear indicator lens held with a small piece of tape, and a two-piece fairing screen that requires a minor fix to secure the smoked upper section. It comes with two keys, Move-In registration for Italian urban access zones, and a period copy of Motociclismo magazine featuring a road test of the model.WhatsApp Image 2026-04-30 at 17.46.45 (7).jpeg1.93 MB
