Moto Guzzi cross-pollinated their 1990’s unfaired sport model with the newly developed 992cc four-valve V-twin, the result being the V10 Centauro. Calendar-girl bodywork surrounds the air and oil-cooled beast within, tuned down from the Daytona 1000’s peak but still happy to rev to the 8,400 rpm limit and crank out 95 hp. This one has…
The four stroke small-sports are definitely whipping up on the stock market this year, and this barely used 1989 will likely continue the trend.

In remembrance of the Bal d’Or from 1971, when a Moto Guzzi 850 made a podium finish after 24 hours, came the Le Mans 850. This Mark 3 has all the good stuff, revised heads with bigger valves, air-charged suspension, full-featured dash, and still wears its early 1980’s emissions and noise regulation gear. Complete as…
Laverda was already reeling from overseas competition in the early 1980’s, but had the gumption for one more design project.

This one has been enjoyed, but is quite original and well maintained. 1983 Laverda…
