Hi all been a while since I posted so here we go , anyone have had or know anything about Moto Guzzi v35 model , I'm looking to buy one and wonder how they compare size , ride to a 350 bullet.

Thanks Reds

Well I'd say Don't! As I know you I think it is fair to say you are a big lad (tall) and you will find it way too small not to mention gutless. In answer to your question, how will it compare to a 350 Bullet, unfavourably is my opinion! By the way, are you coming to the super 40th Anniversary Home Counties Rally this June? All details in The Gun.

I would suggest if you decide to race a v35 your Enfield 350 has a 30 minute start.http://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/model/ ... a%2079.htm start. LOL.

Jamesy, nice spot but that's the considerably warmed up Imola version. The standard V35 just don't have that kind of go!

You could try asking the same question here; http://www.guzziriders.org/ They are a very friendly and helpful crowd.

Hi Guys------Both my friend Mike C and I owned Guzzi V50s back in the day and apart from the one model with a Heron head they were "Alright" I suppose..........generally regarded as a bike for the Wife or Girlfriend......However why buy a 350 when the V500 was available ??

You might like to take note of the 10:1 Comp. Ratio and have a think where you can get petrol to suit in your locality ??

I agree with the others and would give it a miss........If you've never tried riding a bike with linked braking then the first slippery Winter roads will give you a wake-up call, that's for sure........Most of us "De-linked" the system, thus giving you independant control of the front brake...........Ask a Trials rider to do the Scottish ISDT with linked brakes and see what "geteel" reply you get !!!
