For Sale: 1978 Moto Guzzi Motorcycle in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin
In Moto Guzzi's long history, there are several models that have
stood the test of time. But for many, the ultimate offering is the
850 Le Mans. The Le Mans borrowed the 850T's engine, but with
high-compression pistons running in the chrome-lined alloy barrels,
larger valves, new camshaft and two 36mm "pumper" Dell'Orto carbs.
Brembo calipers gripped the twin drilled cast iron front brake
discs, one of which was linked to the rear disc through the brake
pedal (the system also used on the triple-disc 850T3).
What was different about the Le Mans was its styling. The clip-on
bars, rear set footrests and humped seat all made it a worthy
successor to the V7 Sport. At 71hp and 124mph (when introduced in
1976) it may not have been as quick as the Kawi, but it would see
off the Beemer and be just behind the Duc. Deservedly popular in
its day and still very usable in modern highway conditions, the
Moto Guzzi 850 Le Mans is a true classic that has justifiably
acquired cult status. This cult classic Mark I Le Mans are
appreciating classics and fantastic investment motorcycles. This
example given its condition and the limited production run; this is
the one you've been waiting for!
