“Powered by the legendary 844cc air-cooled V-twin engine producing 71 bhp, the Le Mans Mk2 delivers the unmistakable Guzzi experience: torque-rich performance, mechanical precision, and a riding feel that connects you directly to the road.”
This is a great bike to ride - and own! It combines the seductive tones of Lafraconi exhausts, excellent handling and Jota bars for comfort. I've done a couple of European tours this year (to Le Mans and Colombres, Spain) and she's returned an excellent high 50's mpg. No oil drips on the floor, either. She's got just short of 25k miles on the clock.
She's a pretty-much standard bike from 1980 with a few enhancements - an easy to use sidestand, Jota bars, heated grips, fork inserts. She has linked brakes and the upgraded rear caliper (twin-bleed). All the electrics work as standard, but has a relay for the headlamp. A large battery precludes a tool tray; the seat has its latch and prop as standard. She has a recent pair of 36mm Dellortos. There's a pair of throw-overs to go with her (I had a couple of rails made to pin them to). Also a decent set of Avon Roadriders with plenty of life left.
The paintwork was restored some time ago by Shropshire Classic Sprayers and she has grown a level of refined patina - some marks in places but overall the look of a bike that has been very well looked after and enjoyed. The frame is powder-coated and excellent.
I my ownership I've kept her serviced, replaced the clutch operating rod seal, fitted the heated grips, tidied the electrics, put 2 new condensers in (one failed in France, lucky I was carrying spares) had the silencers Cerakoted and put 2 new choke cables on. The Koni Dial-a-Rides have been rebuilt with new seals and fluid. I've also thoroughly enjoyed owning and riding her. But time to move on.
Any questions or requests for pictures, please drop me a DM.
