I do like a Guzzi cafe racer, there's nothing too radical there, not sure about the slight case of drillium though

Quite like the look of that, needs airfilter/airbox but other than that it looks fine.
Only had a very brief go on a Le Mans, can't remember any significant details apart from the heavy throttle.
I imagine I'd enjoy getting used to one though, old style roll throttle on for faster, roll it off to slow down as opposed to going up and down through the gears like a barefooted man stamping a tab out.

Love the turbine blade baffles in the exhaust. Don't like the modern looking 4 pots. Ought to have period looking Brembo 2 pots. The headlight looks a bit too small as well

Dunno, those Brembo Goldlines 4 pots have been around for yonks and I remember them being on Ducati 851s in about 86 or so and I'm pretty sure they weren't new then.
I'm pretty sure they were making Guzzi Le Mans after then (into the 90s?) so technically its still period even though likely an upgrade.

Damn nearly every Ducati bad them on for a few years and stuff like KTM Dukes as well.
Popular upgrade for a lot of bikes.

Like the wheels, and and like that its done on a later "square fin" rather than round fin. Look like chrome Lafranconi exhausts.

I can... the completely useless front brake... the first time I had to stop behind a car as it pulled up for a changing traffic light I nearly shat myself... fortunately, I also trod on the rear brake and remembered it worked one of the front discs.

And then there was the box of false neutrals... first neutral second neutral third neutral etc... and the same on the way back down.

But... I loved it
