Ending Soon – 2 1980s Moto Guzzis

In Italy, Sport by AbhiLeave a Comment

A dealer in Henrietta, Texas has two cool red Guzzis from an estate sale – a CX100 and a Le Mans Mk 4!

The CX100 was the bigger-is-better successor to the 850cc Le Mans, and a direct competitor to the BMW R100RS. To help with the touring duties, Guzzi took the engine and lower fairings from the 1000SP and stuffed them into the LeMans to create this bike. It wasn’t a great success – some riders though that this was slower than the legendary 850cc LeMans it replaced, despite the bigger engine.

Unfortunately, the CX100 was slower by some accounts than the 850, 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.
