Additional photos of this 1980 Moto Guzzi CX-100 Le Mans available here for your perusal.
The successor to the legendary 850cc Le Mans, the Moto Guzzi LeMans II CX100 was created to satisfy the American mantra of “no replacement for displacement” and compete with the BMW R100RS. Guzzi took the engine and lower fairings from the 1000SP sport tourer and added them to the LeMans.
According to Ian Falloon in his “Moto Guzzi Sport & Le Mans Bible”, just 353 of these bikes were built.
This example is VIN: VU111352, Engine #: VG205980. The seller acquired it over a year ago from a private party in Colorado.
During his ownership, the seller has covered roughly 800 miles. The odometer has been removed so true mileage is unknown.
The seller calls this “the ultimate rat bike.”
