The version known as V35 is a normal road bike, with standard quality of city driving. It was also described as a tourist, because they did not disdain long journeys. The displacement remained at 346 cm3 . Being a quantity bike it was very widespread (for the time) between new drivers and people who did not abandon the Italian motorcycle companies, or the specific brand ; it was the bike for those who started driving, or those who wanted to move without spending too much or without unnecessary frills.

The Moto Guzzi V35 Imola was one of the last smaller-displacement bikes produced by the Mandello firm. They are pretty rare this side of the pond, never having been officially exported here. This one looks very clean, and features a factory fairing.


1981 - 1986 Moto Guzzi V 35 II[edit | edit source]

That might just have something to do with the fact that the Imola wasn't really intended for the British market and consequently those black chromed silencer aren't as stuffed up as those on the V 65 Lario.

This Guzzi is his first creation, and he goes into detail about what he has done to this V 35 III. The chassis has been lowered for better agility in the corners and the frame was cut in the back by about 10cm and was capped with arrows round the old superstructure which was replaced with plastic aluminum to hold the seat and plaque. The saddle is made entirely of fiberglass and coated in a kind of leather like Kevlar effect.
