Thank goodness it's not in North America! I would be much poorer and a bike richer by now. :D

That bike ticks every box I have for a Le Mans - MKI Series 1, Ice Blue, gorgeous.

Heck the Netherlands isn't that far. I'm buying new springs / parts for my sons eyetalian scooter from there.

Less than 10,000 miles

I'll check on shipping and let you know. maybe I'd better think about that because this bike is on my "pail" list (little bucket)

Well I could fly over and return for $1400. I wonder how hard it would be to ride the Le Mans to England and have hit shipped from there.

Uhhh they ride on the wrong side of the road in England. You'd crash it at the first round about. Never mind.

can't believe how much more bikes bring over in the EU. When I get too old to ride I'm going to put all my classics in a container and ship them over there, Would likely get an easy 30% more than here.

What is the Euro to U.S. Dollar conversion rate these days?

1 Euro equals
1.08 US Dollar

leafman60 · « **Reply #10 on:** April 23, 2015, 07:54:23 AM »

That's about $14,500 for the bike. With shipping and other fees etc, you'd probably be close to $16,000

It is sold! Bike goes to Belgium.

I didn't do it ! ;D

I'm curious Bonkers, who bought it (you can pm me if you feel like it)?

Btw, how are you doing, long time since the Guzzioot days?

mantaray · « **Reply #13 on:** April 26, 2015, 04:42:58 AM »

........and i am a happy bird now ;-)

Original Series One seat, rebuild (original foam still inside)

blackcat · « **Reply #14 on:** April 26, 2015, 06:49:29 AM »

Good luck with your new bike, very pretty machine.

Cam3512 · « **Reply #15 on:** April 26, 2015, 07:12:15 AM »

That's a beauty! Congrats. You've got quite the stable.

I see you've changed the pipes already?

mantaray · « **Reply #16 on:** April 26, 2015, 08:17:17 AM »

Thanks for the flowers ;-)

No i didnt change anything, this is a recent picture
The pics with original pipes are much older.( with only 2200 km )

I'll pick her up next month, it was raining yesterday.

canuck750 · « **Reply #17 on:** April 26, 2015, 08:49:06 AM »

Fantastic bike Raymond, congratulations and It has gone to a caretaker who will give it the care and attention it deserves.
:+1
Cheers

Looks a lot like the one I sold about five years ago, except for the aftermarket Gamin seat. I sold it
to a friend, for $5K, but doubt I could have gotten much more at the time. Everything old is becoming
more valuable now.

mantaray · « **Reply #19 on:** April 26, 2015, 12:26:54 PM »

I am old too, aint worth a dime lol

It is not an aftermarket Gamin seat.
It's an original first Le Mans seat, but reinforced by a proffessional.
Front and backend are still from the old seat, middlesection is renewed.
The only way to preserve an original 1.1 seat is to store it in your bedroom ;-)

Wrote to the 2nd owner and got a very interesting history about the bike.

Less then 2500 km from new till 2003

I know a guy who refuses to sell me a pretty nice Le Mans because he is afraid I would tear it down and rebuild it ;D

Judging by the pictures of your new beauty there isn't much to improve upon, again a very, very nice and desirable Guzzi :+1

Cheers

Jim

mantaray · « **Reply #22 on:** May 09, 2015, 12:58:48 AM »

Picked her up Yesterday :bike

canuck750 · « **Reply #23 on:** May 09, 2015, 09:09:54 AM »

BEAUTIFUL :drool :drool :drool

The finish on the bike is impeccable, love the colour and I think the day-glow orange on the fairing just sets the bike off perfectly.

I hope you have many, many years of riding enjoyment from it, just don't stop in places where motorcyclists congregate, you will be swarmed!

Cheers

Jim

mantaray · « **Reply #24 on:** May 09, 2015, 09:25:10 AM »

Thanks Jim

About the orange, my Nexus 5 smartphonecam is not able to show the real color i guess.

Because the upper side of the fearing is exactly the same as the lower side, on the picture it is not

I"ll try to make some other pics with my Olympus tomorrow.

Chuck in Indiana · « **Reply #25 on:** May 09, 2015, 10:31:48 AM »

Hi, i have been contemplating putting my series 1 MK1 back to the original ice blue (currently a pretty nice champagne colour) and your pics have finally convinced me. can anyone supply paint codes for the blue please before i change my mind ;)

cheers

Picture taken a few years ago in front of the Laverda Museum in Holland. Now where can you see 2 such beauties tucked together?
I thought the bike in this thread was the one at the back, but I notice a different saddle?? Bonkers?

What a pair of beauties!

It's like debating blonde or brunette.

Seeing the two colour schemes side by side I am torn between the Ice Blue and the Red.

No wonder Archie could never decide upon Betty or Veronica as his main girl.

Eventually I may need to fin both ::) In reality I don't think so, my wife has already stated her displeasure with the number of bikes I have tucked away.
