MOTO GUZZI V35 (1978-1979) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Moto Guzzi V35 was a motorcycle manufactured by Moto Guzzi from 1978 as a replacement model for the Moto Guzzi GTS 350 and continued production until 1992. Over its production period, the V35 was made in numerous versions.

It was a regular motorcycle with standard city riding qualities, but it was also defined as a tourist. It was made in V35, V35II, and V35III, with the same displacement engine. Also, it was perfect for those riders new to the two-wheeler world.

Visually, the bike was as simple as possible, with standard features, such as a round headlight upfront with instruments mounted on top, a one-piece dual seat with a passenger grab handle, side-mounted rear shocks, a dual exhaust system, and six double-spoke aluminum wheels.

In the suspension department, the motorcycle packed a telehydraulic fork on the front and a swingarm coupled to dual side-mounted shock absorbers on the rear, providing optimum handling capabilities.

In the braking department, the bike rolled on 18-inch wheels fitted with two 260 mm discs on the front and a 235 mm disc on the rear, delivering optimum stopping performance.

As for the power figures, the 1977 Moto Guzzi V35 had its soul brought to life by a 346cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine that delivered an output power of 35 hp at 8,100 rpm and 27 Nm (20 lb-ft) torque at 6,500 rpm.
