Thank you for your comment. As you said, the old Tonti-frame Moto Guzzi and mono-shock BMW twins are not very popular. That's why I was able to get them at a reasonable price, but unfortunately I have now sold the R100RS. For long-distance touring, I use two Moto Guzzi, and for day trips, I mainly use the T140 or 650SS. I also ride the side-valve 750 twin and R27 for short distances of about 300 km.
@@classicmotorcycleriding3101 I love the Le Mans series 3. I ride lighter bikes in the 600 cc class (like he Ducati Pantah 600 and Honda NT 650 GT which I tend to modify heavily with my own fairing designs and builds) but this is my favorite Guzzi, although I also like the Imola, Monza and Lario a lot. And then there is the new V 100 Mandello of course.
@@classicmotorcycleriding3101 Such bikes deliver everything one needs on the road at more or less legal speeds. The best motorcycle in the world is the one you are in full control of. 👍
As you say, I think it is important to choose a motorcycle with a displacement that you can control. But what is interesting is that it is not just the displacement that affects the engine's character, but also the shape of the cam and the size of the carburetor. I think the strong torque from low speeds and gentle acceleration that I felt when I first rode the California 2 were due to the heavy flywheel, small-diameter carburetor, and cam shape. Even though it is the same Moto Guzzi, the LM3 is very different in that it has strong torque from low speeds and a good acceleration due to the Dellorto carburetor with an acceleration pump. And both are fun to ride, and I never get bored even when riding long distances. My son's Ducati 860GTS, with its light flywheel and sharp acceleration, gave me the impression that it was urging me to go faster. The Moto Guzzi is different, and even when riding behind a four-wheeled vehicle traveling at the legal speed, the LM3 does not make me feel rushed by the motorcycle. Let's continue to enjoy life with motorcycles together.
Excellent combination. Both are rather underrated. Now other, more obvious, versions have become extremely expensive their value is about to rise.

As I get older, I am also interested in mid-sized, lightweight Guzzi, such as the Monza, V50, V65, Lario, and Targa750.
