1993 Moto Guzzi Tonti 850 T5.

This is an ex-Carabinieri bike which as standard was fitted with 18" wheels front and rear, a sump extension and 40mm Bitubo forks adjustable for preload and damping. Unusually for the time it's factory fitted with points ignition.

The police bikes also have the long california-type sidestand.

I've replaced the plastic mudguards with Guzzi original T4 rear and T3 front stainless items and custom stainless stays.

The bike came with a rather brutally ugly full fairing and at the moment the lowers are removed as you couldn't see the engine and the intention was to fully remove the upper section and convert it to a naked bike, at the same time correcting the bizarre angle at which the badges are fitted.

Original steel panniers with working locks and heavily-built crashbars front and rear.

Speedo is in Km, but also fitted with a Nano SPD speedo/trip computer which works really well.

LED driving lights and Auxito LED H4 headlight bulb replacement.

Supplied with the bike are:

• Original mudguards, fairing lowers and belly pan.
• Civilian T5 dual seat base and foam along with the corresponding tail section.
• Pair of side panels that need painting (1/2 litre of matched cellulose paint supplied).

Overall the paintwork looks better in the pictures than it really is and there's some bubbling to the tank and fairing. The tank is clean inside and unlined.

These machines make an excellent basis for a special or cafe racer.

Bike is is in regular use and MOTd to 6th September 2025. 36,701 miles/58,722 Km. Part of the MOT history is recorded as miles instead of Km but corrected for the latest MOTs. New Facet points and condensers and brand new starter motor (original suffered from the Valeo problem with broken magnets), new plug leads and caps plus oil and filter change a few miles ago.

Some history and a few service items and parts.

Two sets of keys.

Bike is in North Staffordshire ST13 8RX
