1990 Moto Guzzi Le Mans Café Racer

Highlights

  • Unique café racer 
  • Bespoke frame 
  • Powerful V-Twin 
  • Custom Italian leather seat 

The Appeal 

The Moto Guzzi Le Mans is a classic Italian motorcycle that has been around since the late 1970s. With its distinctive V-twin engine and bold styling, it's no wonder that many motorcycle enthusiasts choose to customise this bike into a café racer. 
To convert a Moto Guzzi Le Mans into a café racer, the first step is to strip the bike down to its bare essentials, removing any unnecessary parts. The next step is to rebuild your vision into something of your own design, and that’s what the creator of this bike did, with a bespoke frame, Italian leather seat and striking, low-bodied styling. It really is something to behold. 
With its purposeful looks and powerful V-twin engine, not to mention one of the most romantic names in the motorcycle industry, it's sure to turn heads wherever it goes.

Summary

The beauty of this bike is obvious and there to behold within its remarkable styling – it’s an incredible-looking thing that has been built to an exemplary standard, and which looks older than its years thanks to its Fifties-inspired café racer styling.  
It’s said to be in great mechanical order and it is in lovely overall condition – an ideal collectors’ piece or addition to a classic motorcycle collection that is truly unique.
