MOTO GUZZI V 35 Imola (1979-1983) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Moto Guzzi V35 was a bike manufactured by Moto Guzzi in 1978 as a replacement model for the Moto Guzzi GTS 350 and continued to be produced 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.

In 1979, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Moo Guzzi V35 Imola, another version of the standard V35 model. The Imola was made in two versions: the V35 Imola, made from 1979 to 1983, and the V35 Imola II, made from 1984 to 1987.

The bike was similar to the base model, with few aesthetic modifications, including a front cowl with a rectangular headlight, a small windscreen, a slightly modified fuel tank, and a redesigned one-piece dual seat.

The motorcycle packed the same braking and suspension systems as the base model, including two 260 mm discs on the front and a telehydraulic fork. The rear end was controlled by a swingarm tied to dual side-mounted shocks and a 235 mm brake disc.

As for performance, the 1979 Moto Guzzi V35 Imola had its heartbeat set by a 346cc four-stroke V-twin air-cooled powerhouse that delivered an output power of 36 hp at 8,100 rpm and 27 Nm (20 lb-ft) torque at 6,500 rpm.
