Moto Guzzi Le Mans 2 Special - 1979
Unique opportunity to
acquire a well known Le Mans special. This is the famous "Cyn" bike, a
Le Mans 2 owned by myself and one previous owner (from new in 1979); the bike
being known to me since 1982. This has the last engine ever built by Amedeo Castellani (Raceco) and a truly massive specification, provenance
and literally unrepeatable. Original UK bike with engine/VIN number
combination
correctly matching a 1979 production run Le Mans 850 mark 2.
