Description
Very nice Café Racer build based on the June 1985 Moto Guzzi Le Mans IV, the last generation of the series with a change in the front wheel diameter.
Only 2, 300 units were made with an 18" front wheel, which offered better handling and ground clearance, instead of the 16" wheel which was merely a late-80s trend for supposedly improved manoeuvrability.
Modifications:
- Aluminium fuel tank with Monza-type cap
- Recessed pull-ride controls by Fikentey and Klaumann mounted on Unibal ball joints
- Lafranconi exhausts
- Brembo gold-series four-piston calipers and aviation hoses
- Leather saddle by Altitude Sellerie in Annemasse with red piping and grey stitching
- V7 Sport side panels
- Motogadget speedometer
- Tommaselli quick-action throttle
