Moto Guzzi 850 LeMans description

This Lemans was lightly crashed in about 1979-80. I believe it hit a curb. It was subsequently put into storage and not moved until I acquired it about 8 years ago.

At least one fork leg is bent and the rim has a slight bend. The left crash bar deflected and slightly chipped a fin (photo). The left handlebar slightly dented the tank and has surface rust in that area as well. The front fender and a side cover need fiberglass repair. The fairing windscreen has scratches.The rear wheel has deformations to the lip from non related miss handling or such.

This Lemans is very unique. As ravaged as the surfaces are, making a complete restoration necessary, the restorer will not find a better candidate. It is as original as can be. All the parts, turn indicators, body work, etc. shown, with the exception of the fuel fill and clutch/brake levers are original to this Lemans. Please note the tool tray and never seen starter solenoid cover!! The motor turns freely ( the bores will probably need attention and please assume the worst for bearings and such, but it turns quite nicely). The odometer works (I put half a mile on it with a drill). The battery has a sold date range starting in 1979. The tire are obviously worthless but are the original Pirelli phantoms.

 This Lemans will be sold with a Connecticut Bill of Sale. Keys are missing. If you are consideration this bike, please call me @203 675 1343 to discuss it in full detail. Thank you!

Moto Guzzi Taking the Motorcycle Show Experience to Airports to Promote the California 1400

Wed, 20 Feb 2013

A pair of muscular-looking V-Twin cruisers sit on a dais in front of a dramatically lit backdrop as attractive female brand representatives greet guests, answer questions and pose for pictures. This scene is fairly commonplace at convention centers during the motorcycle show season, but Moto Guzzi is taking the scenario to a new location: airports. Moto Guzzi is bringing the motorcycle show experience to select airports in Europe to promote its new California 1400 models.

Moto Guzzi Revives V7 in US

Mon, 05 Jan 2009

If contemporary society has taught us anything, it is that few things are held as sacred. Shameless film and television remakes are rampant while musicians sample (steal) any beats or mixes they deem suitable that will gain their crumby creation attention. In regards to motorcycles, there are times when retro-inspired modern engineered creations work, like the Triumph Thruxton for instance.
