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 as competition to the BMW R100RS. Guzzi took the engine and lower fairings from the 1000SP sport tourer, and threw them on the LeMans. Unfortunately, the bike was slower by some accounts, and it’s been since relegated to an odd footnote in MG history.

According to Ian Faloon in his “Moto Guzzi Sport & Le Mans Bible”, just 353 of these bikes were built. For more information, check out this article from Vintage Motorcycles Online on the CX100 and its 850 Le Mans predecessor.
This specific Moto Guzzi LeMans II CX100 (VIN: 111395) has 32,819 miles and “sounds like opera” thanks to a NOS LaFranconi Whizzer exhaust and Malozzi intakes. You’ll also get Tarrozzi rearsets, and Brembo brakes. It’s had a repaint of indeterminate age, and the bodywork is in good shape. This is a solid example of a very rare motorcycle.
