Weighing only 45 kg (99 lb) (overall bike weight 148 kg (326 lb)), its miniaturized components tightly packed, the engine produced an unprecedented 78 hp (58 kW) at 12000 rpm. The motorcycle proved capable of achieving 275 km/h (171 mph)—20 years before the speed was reached again in Grand Prix motorcycle racing.
Top speed is 130 mph (209 km/h). Compared to its roadster sibling, the T3, the Le Mans had higher-compression domed pistons, larger engine valves, and Dell'Orto 36 mm pumper carbs with filterless velocity stacks.
In conclusion, the Moto Guzzi MGX-21 is the fastest and most powerful motorcycle in the Moto Guzzi lineup. Its advanced features, powerful engine, and aerodynamic design make it a top choice for riders who crave speed and performance.
Traditionally Guzzi engines last a very long time. Many would say that 15k miles is just about run in nicely! There's lots of very high mileage Guzzis out there and I know some owners are concerned the V7 mileometer can't read higher than 99,999 so at that point they will have to buy a new speedo!
With horizontally split crankcases and Heron heads, it was advanced for its time, relatively light, and produced 35bhp at 8,100rpm which gave the bike a top speed of 92mph with a nice flat torque curve for good response throughout the rev range.
Conceived in the mid-1950s, the 500cc V8 revved safely to 16,000 rpm and was speed-trapped at 286 kmh/178mph during the 1957 Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps in its final race.
The first official Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM) record was set in 1920, when Gene Walker rode an Indian on Daytona Beach at 104.12 mph (167.56 km/h). Since late 2010, the Ack Attack team has held the motorcycle land speed record at 376.36 mph (605.69 km/h).
