Its a bit "prissy".

I know it's all about the engine, but it looks out of place in that, which I guess is the point, but it looks too out of place.

[The Spin Doctor]

The exhaust looks wrong, going under the sump. I know they wanted a 2 into 1, but like the originals, it would flow better alongside it, and give a lot more ground clearance.

At least it looks like it could be ridden.

[Taipan]

Looks like they've put the engine in a 125 frame. Unbalanced look and it just doesn't fly for me.

[Supermofo]

Individual parts look stunning, but as a whole...dunno something doesn't look right.

[ChrisW]

It doesn't seem to know if it's a scrambler or a café racer.

[Count Steer]

It's mostly OK but an awful lot of work has gone into getting that exhaust horribly, horribly wrong.

[Le_Fromage_Grande]

I quite like it, a longer seat so you could take a pillion and a different exhaust would improve it.

[Skub]

I'd like a pipe up each side. The droopy double pipe on one side offends my sense of the symmetrical.

I could chug about on that quite happily otherwise.

[Cousin Jack]

Looks unfinished to me. Almost as though they got bored with it and threw the last bits on without any thought.

The Le Mans really is tiny. I stopped next to one at lights recently (it was immaculate) and my 600 dwarfed it.

Love it!!!

One day my pile of bits will look very similar to that.

Good God man. Aim higher than that.

You've not seen the pile!

[ZRX61]

Not too shabby.

Le Mans is tiny? Try a V50!



The factory’s lead engineer, Lino Tonti, was in charge, and he essentially downsized the 850 everywhere while using the same 90-degree, wet-sump, overhead-valve V-twin, dry single-plate clutch, five-speed transmission, shaft drive and electric starting, although with a new electronic ignition system. The 57.3-inch wheelbase of the 850 Le Mans went down to 55 inches on the V50, the advertised dry weight from 475 pounds to 336 pounds, carburetor size (Dell’Ortos) from 36mm to 24mm.

All old bikes/cars are tiny aren't they?

Regarding the OP, we've managed to find a Guzzi I don't like which is saying something.

The V50 really is diddy. Sat on mine alongside a 50cc traily style moped, the kid on it looked down, saw the 'V50' badge, asked whether it was moped?

My 6'2" mate rode it, came back and said how comfy it was. I pointed out he was half sat on the pillion part of the seat!

Get a bigger pile?
