MOTO GUZZI V35 III (1985-1990) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 1985, after the V35 II model ended production, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Moo Guzzi V35 III, a slightly different motorcycle featuring redesigned bodywork and a few differences here and there.

The Moto Guzzi V35 was a tourism, custom, or sporty 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 produced in numerous versions, including the V35 III.

The bike's visual department was characterized by standard features, such as a front cowl with a rectangular headlight, a small windscreen, a one-piece dual seat, side-mounted rear shocks, a dual exhaust system with a silencer on each side, and five-spoke aluminum wheels.

As for performance, the 1985 Moto Guzzi V35 III had its heartbeat set by a 346cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine managed by two Dell'Orto carburetors, delivering an output power of 35 hp at 8,100 rpm and 27 Nm (20 lb-ft) torque at 6,500 rpm.

The bike's power was handled by a five-speed manual transmission linked to the rear wheel by a final shaft drive.

The front wheel was guided by a telescopic fork and stopped by two 260 mm brake discs, while the rear wheel was softened by twin side-mounted shock absorbers and controlled by a 235 mm brake disc.
