Moto Guzzi Le Mans IV
Moto Guzzi Le Mans mk4 cafe racer project. Before you bid, please understand that this bike needs a bit of work to make good.

It's a lovely, charismatic, torque-laden bike that just makes you feel good riding it. I'd say you could ride it away, but the carbs are well out of balance. That's the only mechanical work needed.
