Years

850 T5 (1983–1985)
GenerationThe 850 T5 is the most powerful late 844cc T derivative, with about 67 hp and 73 Nm. It is identified by the T5 designation and should not be confused with the heavier 1000cc Guzzi tourers.
Years
1975 - 1982
850 T3 (1975–1982)
GenerationThe 850 T3 gained the integrated braking system and is the best-known evolution of the 850 T. Its 844cc two-valve engine produces around 59 hp; listings often call it simply ‘850 T’.
Years
1973 - 1974
850 T first series (1973–1974)
GenerationThe original 850 T is the touring-oriented successor to the V850 GT, with an 844cc V-twin, carburettors and shaft drive. Its roughly 57 hp specification is distinct from the later T3 and T5.
About the Moto Guzzi 850 T
The Moto Guzzi 850 T is an Italian touring motorcycle introduced in 1973 as the successor to the V7 Sport. Its defining feature is the air-cooled 844 cc longitudinal V-twin with shaft drive, a configuration Guzzi maintained for decades. The 850 T ran from 1973 to 1975 before being superseded by the improved T3, T4, and T5 variants, but the original T established the template for the whole lineage.
The 850 T suits the touring rider who values reliability and comfort over outright performance. The low seat and flat torque delivery make it manageable for riders with moderate experience, though its weight of over 200 kg demands respect. As a running classic from the early 1970s, it competes with the BMW R90/6 and Laverda 750 SF of the same period rather than modern machinery.

What to check before buying
- Check the driveshaft and final-drive unit for play and oil leaks; parts are scarce and expensive.
- Inspect the electrical system for improvised repairs; the original 12V setup is prone to corrosion after 50 years.
- Check the Dell'Orto carburettors for worn slides and needles; air leaks cause an erratic idle.
- Look for oil weeping at the rocker covers and cylinder head bolts; typical of older Guzzi V-twins.
- Verify the frame for accident damage or straightening; a bent steering head is difficult and expensive to repair.
