Description
I have owned this 850 Le Mans Mk1 series 2 in the rarer Silver Blue colour since 2013 it has 5 previous owners, pics show the aftermarket seat I use but the Original & Strap will come with the bike, there is also a pair of Keihan Stainless pipes to come and are all in good condition. Currently running a pair of Mistral pipes which sound awesome and purchased in 2022. New BT046 tyres fitted April 2023 and had an MOT in April. The last owner of 26yrs reports bike fitted with Raceco gear drive conversion to camshaft and a Raceco Dyna Hall ignition, there is also a Tarozzi fork brace fitted.
Bike is not concours but I think in great condition considering its age and originality, it still has original paintwork as far as I know so is not perfect and still using original switchgear with no issues!
Bad Point, speedo shows 6782, this is not the true mileage, it should be around 25k if you believe what the previous owner says in his letter to me when I looked into buying the bike (see pic and READ the letter) Worst case if you dont believe what he says the bike would have done around 34k, I also have the MOTs which show the jump in mileage, and bearing in mind he was only covering a few hundred miles a year looking at other Mots I believed him, either way its still a low mileage bike in very good condition. Upon purchasing the bike I took it to Moto Corsa to have the Oil and Brake lines upgraded, and to replace anything else that needed to be done and give the bike a thorough check over, their opinion on the mileage issue was the bike was in excellent condition for its age regardless of what mileage it had done! The bike starts and runs as it should do for a Guzzi and the handling is great for a 45yr old bike. It still has the linked braking system which I find works fine.
No px's and no test rides without the full amount of money in my hand, if you drop it you own it!Always wanted one of these as a teenage biker, so stylish but couldn't afford one back in the day, so had Jap bikes instead. I have not been disappointed in this bike at all, it looks great, sounds great and handles well. it has bags of character, and is always a talking point when you pull up at a café even with guys who no longer ride! As a rare classic its value has increased year by year so also a good investment. I am only selling this because I'm an old fart and need something easier on my old bones!
