Next is the SP III, a completely new motorcycle, with tank lines similar to the Guzzi 850-T5 and 750, "medium" valve heads like the Le Mans 850, PHF36 carburettors and Motoplat electronic ignition, as well as a very valid full fairing ( now fixed to the frame) which effectively protected even the tallest motorcyclists from air and water, previously somewhat sacrificed by the three-piece fairing of the first SPs, mainly at leg level, difficult to insert into the appropriate spaces if one was taller than 175 cm. With the SP III, Moto Guzzi also included the reserve warning light in the dashboard, which at the time was fitted to very few other motorbikes, even those of significantly higher prices. The SP III allowed many loyal customers of the Mandello company to be able to undertake long journeys in complete comfort and safety, with the large rigid side bags as standard and comforted by the superb chassis and the always ready integral braking (now with steel discs) and safe, a forerunner of ABS.
