1979 Lemans MK2

1979 Moto Guzzi Le Mans Mk2 – Fully Restored / 950 Conversion – Exceptional Example

Offered for sale is my beautifully restored 1979 Moto Guzzi Le Mans Mk2, a true icon of Italian motorcycling and widely regarded as one of the most charismatic sporting machines of its era.

This particular bike has undergone an extensive nut-and-bolt restoration from the crankshaft upwards, carried out with the intention of creating a machine that is better than factory specification. The build has been meticulously documented, with receipts and a USB stick containing a detailed record of the parts and work carried out.

The engine has been upgraded with a 950 conversion, along with numerous carefully selected improvements designed to enhance reliability, performance, and rideability while preserving the character of the original machine.

Key features and upgrades include:

• Frame professionally powder coated
• Outstanding Dream Machine paintwork
• Beautiful Keihin stainless exhaust system
• Lafranconi exhaust system also included
• Upgraded front fork internals
• Improved rear shocks
• Enlarged sump
• New carburettors
• Upgraded clutch and release bearing
• New barrels with high-compression pistons
• Sachs programmable electronic ignition

Since completion of the restoration, the bike has covered approximately 2,000 miles, meaning it is effectively a freshly rebuilt machine.
