4K Mile Original 78 Lemans I For Sale

Also, every V7 Sport I have seen has engine numbers like below.  The V7 Sport on that site neither has the VK or the *________* that I can discern. 

Good catch Dave! Signor Moto Bogarto's stamping looks like a different font and sure looks like there's no VK or *_________*
BUYER BEWARE! I don't trust any hipster d-bag with a Fedora either...

I'm happier and happier with my latest purchase.

Yes...without question...and even when new...it was clearly the WORST seat in motorcycle history...then, after many years...the FOAM gets hard...and it indeed morphs into the 2 x 8 knotty pine board!!

Waaay back in the day, I bought a year-old '82 (I think) Harley FXR (tarted up to be a "FXRS Tribute", in current 60s-70s muscle car language).  After I bought it I started reading all the road tests I could find & universally all the testers/evaluators complained about the seat  being very uncomfortable & not up to the relative improvements that model represented overall.  However, I found the seat to be the most comfortable seat I'd ever experienced up to that time.  Seat comfort seems to be a very subjective & personal issue.

The entire issue is pretty irrelevant to me, unfortunately, since I've passed the age where folding my body up to use low bars and rear-set foot controls is an option for anything other than VERY short rides.  Hips & back complain long before my butt does!

I don't get you guys, you should be happy that someone is pushing the price of older bikes up. Le Mans are selling anywhere between $15 and $22k and as said above Ducati of the same era $45k and above. Mind you it's the same on a Ford forum I look at. People complain that the prices of their 60's era cars is not great and 2 low but as soon as someone puts more $ than normal on the car that there trying to sell everyone bags them that the price is to high.

Nobody likes price-gouging. Or over-zealous trend-pricing. Me, I’ll sit with the fellow curmudgeons. True love is acknowledging reality, warts and all.

I think that is one of the prettiest motorcycles out there, but I’d really like to see it in person.  If it were mine I would be unable to keep from addressing the non-use and corrosion issues.  It would be a 30k motorcycle before I knew it and then I would be afraid to ride it. Then I would sell it for $22k.  Repair, rinse repeat.

If somebody was asking $45k for a Le Mans then yes I would agree with you on price gouging, but he's not.

The speedo is a Civilian Eldo type because the needle tip comes to a sharper point than the Tach needle.

Good catch......

I love this place.
