AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Moto Guzzi 850 Le Mans Mk1 of the coveted First Series (oval rear taillight) built in 1976, the year of launch of this Italian icon.

Purchased in 1982 from its sole previous owner, the motorcycle is in magnificent mechanical condition. And proof of this is its recent successful participation in the latest edition of the 39th Pistón International Rally in Cantabria, overcoming the tough regularity routes on mountain roads without the slightest technical issue. A total guarantee that the machine is ready to be enjoyed immediately.

In perfect running order. Starts easily and runs optimally, delivering all the power and the raw sporty feel original to this model. It shows 88,391 km on its original instrumentation and retains the original Dell'Orto PHF-36 carburetors. A robust mechanical, very pampered and lovingly maintained in running condition for more than forty years.

Era improvements::
Equipped with the legendary Lafranconi Competizione exhausts, which provide the purest, sportiest, and most thunderous roar of the twin-cylinder engine.
Equipped with classic Koni shocks, a period performance upgrade highly valued.

Aesthetics and Bodywork:
The motorcycle was repainted in 2003 and two decades later the paint remains in good condition, showing a beautiful natural patina albeit with the normal imperfections derived from use

Documentation and administrative status:
- Spanish documentation fully up to date and ready for immediate transfer. Free of charges or pending taxes
- ITV valid until 8/8/27
- In case of sale to an international buyer, the seller will manage the permanent export deregistration with the Spanish Dirección General de Tráfico (DGT) once payment is confirmed by Catawiki.

Transport organization, management and costs are the sole responsibility of the buyer. The seller will offer full availability and cooperation to facilitate access and loading for the transport company chosen by the buyer.

Disclaimer

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
