Interesting questionThis is the dash on my 1977 Lemans, as far as I know it's original1975 750 S3 dash, known to be original, very similar to the Le MansDid Guzzi update the dash cover for 1978 and add signal directional indicators?
Thanks
I am betting it will go for north of $14K
Good call Jim !!
Just sold for $15,301, which is what it's worth. Note that the winning bidder bumped his bid by $4000 in the last 2 minutes!
Nice bike, these first series really are holding (and gaining) in value. Anyone know how many ice blues were imported to the USA?
For questions on the dashboard. My '76 850 LeMans is the same as the 750S that is pictured. My '80 CX100 dash is different. It has multi-colored vertical lights. I'll recheck the LeMans and my '81 CX100.
As much as I hope it does go up, I also hope that perhaps someone who's wanted a LM for a long time ends up getting it at a good price as opposed to that bike ending up in the hands of someone flipping it .
...Yet, the most desireable Guzzis still lag far behind in price from their other rare Italian cousins such as Ducs and MV's. Perhaps one day they'll catch up.
Is this because Guzzi owners and buyers are such cheap a**es? (says the guy that owns two Guzzis, and two Airheads).
Probably half the reason but I think the 1972 Imola win did more for Ducati round case mystique and future values than any other factor. After Guzzi pulled out of International racing the brand didn't recover the race winning pedigree (with the exception of the Dr. John bikes) that Ducati continues to enjoy. Guuz's aren't mainstream and only in the last couple years have the bikes mags seem to get interested in the great Moto Guzzis of the 70's and 80's. Guzzi's are cool again. If this keeps up I may have to go find another brand that no one seems to be paying attention to.

Moto Morini?
You cannot engineer the next bid to "jump" up thousands of dollars. The next bid is always the bid increment- except if someone else has a maximum bid set higher. Let's say there's a widget where the bidding is at $100. The minimum bid increment is $1. Bidder #1 has the current high bid of $100 and has a personal maximum bid limit of $500. Bidder two places a bid of $250. The result is bidder one still is the high bidder, yet the limit is advanced to $251. After losing that round, if Bidder two ups the ante by placing a bid of $501- then he will have just beat out bidder one's max bid limit of $500 and he will be the high bidder. If bidder two instead had placed a bid of $600 - then the result would be that the computer will set the high bid to $1 more than bidder one's max bid ($501). So- you cannot have a huge jump unless two people are involved. This is not like an open auction where one party can throw out a huge number (like a poker player "buying the pot").
