1980 Moto Guzzi Lemans - Manfred Hecht Bike
Offering an extensive catalog of high performance accessories and service for Moto Guzzi owners, Manfred Hecht of RaceCo in New York USA was a master tuner. Serving as a test mule for parts and tuning methods, this machine started life as a 1977/78 Le Mans 850 and was Manfred's personal motorcycle. According to Gregory Rathe (who supplied these photographs) the 'mule' features EPM wheels, Duilio Agostini rear-sets, Marzocchi M1R fork, a baffled windage tray, 40mm Dellorto carbs, and a BUB header fixed to real Conti mufflers. Unseen components include Manfred's twin-plug ignition system, race-spec CR 5-speed transmission, cylinder head modifications and 1100cc. The Guzzi community suffered a great loss when he passed, as Manfred was a trusted friend and mentor to many. Including me. . 500-lb. 140-mph+
