Moto Guzzi was established in 1921 by three friends from the Italian Air Corps and is Europe’s oldest motorcycle manufacturer in continuous production, based in the same factory in Mandello del Lario overlooking Lake Como ever since. After mainly producing single cylinder designs for their road bikes Moto Guzzi launched the 750cc V7 in 1969 to satisfy the demand for larger capacity bikes and the iconic transverse shaft drive V-twin layout has now become Guzzi's signature design, with the sporty Le Mans models becoming the most sought after model.
This 1989 Mk5 version of the Le Mans, has only had 2 owners from new with the vendor buying it when it was only 1 year old. A Moto Guzzi enthusiast, in his 33 years of ownership it has always been run on Premium fuel, kept in a dry garage and never modified from standard. There were only 2,113 produced by the factory and few will have remained in this original standard condition. Part of a small private collection of Moto Guzzis, it has become part of the family and will be much missed by the owner and his wife, who regularly displayed the bike at Stafford and the NEC classic shows. Only being sold after the 80 year old owner picked up a speeding ticket, he has decided to stick to his more sensible California! The Le Mans is offered with its original owner’s manual, service book and a number of old MOTs, together with a current MOT until 24th August 2023 and a V5C.
