1976 Moto Guzzi 850 Le Mans

In 1976, Moto Guzzi released the 850 Le Mans. If this sounds familiar, it might be because it was named after the yearly 24-hour endurance race that takes place in France. This came with a nose fairing and clip-on handlebars. It eventually came with a three-quarter fairing as well. Over the years, it underwent a number of adjustments. This model turned into the Series I, Mark I, and Series II. The Italian company produces fewer than 10,000 units, however.

Did you know that the 750 S and the 750 GT were both considered to be important milestones in the motorcycle world?
