Moto Guzzi bobber

This vintage-themed Moto Guzzi looks like an 850T to me. And unlike most Guzzi customs, it’s not a café racer—there’s a definite bobber flavor here. This bike appeared briefly on a German website—which now appears to have gone under—and little information was forthcoming from the owner, apart from these images. At the very least, this machine has been given a custom-made tank and seat, vintage-style Firestone tires, a fatter exhaust system and a bobbed front fender. The bars appear to have a burnished copper finish—with matching fork uppers—plus built-in flashers and what appear to be wooden grips. I doubt that the air-cooled V-twin motor has been tuned, but with around 60 hp on tap from 844cc, performance should be more than enough. If you know anything more about this lovely bobber, please drop us a line in the comments.
