Moto Guzzi Motorcycles
Moto Guzzi is an Italian motorcycle manufacturer established in 1921 in Mandello del Lario by Lake Como in northern Italy.

The company has produced over fifty models since its inception. One of its most famous machines has been the Le Mans. This model was a further development of the 1971 750 V7 Sport designed by Guzzi engineer Lino Tonti. The V7 Sport was planned as the first five speed, 200 kg, 200 km/h, production motorcycle. With its disc brakes and additional displacement, the 850 Le Mans lived up to the promise of the V7 Sport. When the Le Mans debuted in 1976 it was among the 5 best performing road bikes available.

Six versions of the Le Mans have been produced, designated I, II, III, IV, V and V11 Le Mans. The I, II and III are 850 cc, the IV and V are 1000 cc and the V11 Le Mans is 1064 cc. The first two models had rounded air-cooling fins on the barrels while the latter have squared fins(known as "round-fin" and "square-fin"). All models have shaft drive. Early models use 36 or 40 mm Dellorto carburetors but the late model V11 Le Mans are fuel injected. All the machines in this series are highly regarded for their styling and performance.

In the '80s and '90s the California models were the biggest sellers. The first model appeared in 1972, and was based on a model sold to the L.A. police department. The combination of European performance and maneuverability coupled with laid back American styling has secured this model its cult following all over the world.
