The style and seating is altered though and this style of bike may suit. There are claimed horsepower advantages but in reality there isn't a lot. The V35 and V50 came in a sport model, the Imola and Monza respectively. There are standard models, touring models, cruisers, off roaders and sport models to choose from too. That basically means that due to their power/weight ratio and engine size are legally suitable for learner riders.
To substantiate this, where I live, even the V65's are classified as LAMS bikes. The power curve is very even on all of them and none of them could be described as over powered.
#Moto Guzzi V35 Tt Review registration#
If registration isn't an issue for you then why would anyone pick a 350 when the 500's and 650's are the same weight, same frame and same handling? If one is for sale locally, at the right price and suits your needs then by all means consider it but if not my suggestion is to go for the larger capacity models. All the big names had 350's including Ducati's famous 350 single and the less known but highly praised Morini 3 1⁄ 2. The V35 was very popular in Europe due to registration and tax costs for bikes. Both models are able to maintain road legal speeds all day long whilst carrying your self, a pillion and gear. I've only owned V65's but I have ridden V50's.
The rest are well documented already in the references listed at the end of this article. Just those that I think may be relevant for an inspection or test ride. I'm not going to differentiate every detail of difference between the 3 marks of V50's for example. I'll deal with them generally as I simply don't have the time to go into all the minute detail. Sessantacinque GT in red or black.įirstly I'll deal with the twin valve models. Who knows what history the bike really has and what faults lay hidden so inspect the bike carefully before parting with your money. Just remember, each one of these bikes is getting old and has had years under different owners. This piece is a compilation of personal experience and information that I have been given or read on various forums.
#Moto Guzzi V35 Tt Review series#
Despite the title much of what is written here is also relevant to the later 750's, the Nevada, Breva, and V7 series including the Classic, Café and Clubman. There are quite a number of texts already out there so this piece isn't designed to replace them, just supplement them with age related details. Many Guzzi big block owners are even sceptical. Time and vague memories have conjured demons and rumours from both truth and gossip.
There is a lot of misinformation about the small block V-twin Guzzi. So you are thinking about an older small block and want to know what to buy or what to look for. It is excellent documentation and I am very happy to oblige. Rod Yeomans asked me to host his article on small block Moto Guzzis.
