She's a 1980 Moto Guzzi LeMans II.
Been dressed up to look like a 850 Lemans but that's fine, it won't affect the value.
It's supposed to be Ferrari red with black, thankfully, they make paint every day so come restoration time, it will be painted the correct colour.
I can get pretty much everything I need to restore the bike including the sexy sounding LaFranconi mufflers.
Going to ride the hell out of it for a year or so first.
Very cool. Guzzis weren't even on my radar until my factory delivery thread, but now I really dig them.
Yeah, they weren't of interest to me until I realized what they were meant to do. Now I really want one.
What colors are you wanting to apply when the time comes?
Nice looking bike.
Very cool. Congratulations!
This is what an 850 LeMans is supposed to look like:
This is what an 850 LeMans II (my motorcycle) is supposed to look like:
They're the same bike under the skin so it doesn't affect the value a whole lot if you turn a LeMans II into a LeMans. You just swap plastics and seat and you're pretty much done.
Mine will stay a LeMans clone but it will wear the proper red and black paint scheme.
I do like the all black look though.
I went for a ride tonight, I love this bike. It barks and it roars, it's unrefined, brutal and everything an Italian bike should be!
Very cool.
Closest I've come is my old Honda CX500. Which was a neat bike in its own right.
Some day, I plan to own a Guzzi, for no intelligent reason.
Cool! Guzzi's are probably the most under-rated motorcycle in the world. Definitely a case of the finished product being far better than the sum of it's parts. I would not kick a LeMans out of my garage.
That is one sweet bike...and I like the black, too.

Noted on the colors. Basically someone inverted the scheme on your bike I guess. I kind of like the wheels on the II better; the kinked spokes your bike is wearing are a little odd looking to me. Cool bike overall.
Not Cool...............................................Cool.......................................Your Bike.
(way beyond cool!)
Yes love it. I used to use my brothers V65 Lario. Great bikes.
Very jealous! I have been on the lookout for a T3 for the last few years, I keep missing the good deals or they are too far away or too much $$
Trying to find a complete bike with title that isn't too nice to cafe
That positively wreaks of late 1970's chic. I love it. I'm almost sure it sounds fantastic, goes about as well as a modern 250, is pretty horrible in the suspension department ... but I would buy that in a heartbeat and ride it everywhere.
EDIT: I prefer the black too.
Nifty.
In reply to Giant Purple Snorklewacker:
It hauls ass and handles better than my skill level.
Remember, these were built to compete with the Ducati 900 and the Laverda. I've ridden my friends 850T and California II. This is a completely different animal.
I took it out for a couple hours tonight. and was very surprised.
It blows the doors off my CX650 Eurosport, even thought they are both very close in the weight, power and handling department.
It will out-brake any Japanese bike I've ridden from the same era.
It's absolutely going to be my new "go for coffee" bike, two hours and my knees and back are sore.
It's a good kind of hurt though.
