Lot Essay

The Moto Guzzi Le Mans is widely regarded as one of the finest and most charismatic sporting motorcycles of the 1970s – a machine of extraordinary mechanical sophistication and visual drama. Powered by the marque's celebrated 844 cc transverse V-twin and clothed in purposeful bodywork, the Le Mans was a genuine performance machine capable of rivaling much of the exotic Italian competition of its era.

This example has been thoughtfully modified to further enhance its competition-derived character, featuring a wire-wheel conversion for an authentic period appearance and a Lafranconi exhaust system for an improved performance and evocative period soundtrack. The bike will need further assembly and front-end work before road use.
