V11 Le Mans Rosso Corsa (2005) review
Everyone knows that red bikes are faster, so Guzzi released this quicker version of the Le Mans
Pros
Big, solid, old skool motorcycle, this time available in red
Cons
It's still overweight and underpowered
The former ultimate incarnation of Guzzi's ancient transvers V-twin. Handling is somewhat 'interesting', despite Ohlins suspension fore and aft. Poor paint finish.
