Did not do my full research and I am hoping someone knows the answer to my vin # question. My engine is stamped with E072317 no V. Is it a real lemans engine? It is a US bike that was restored. Are there any guzzi engines with just the E?
 
Not a VIN expert but my LM3 has the VE then a star then six numbers then another star. My Cal2 is the same way w/different preface.
I would think yours is a real one, factory mistake. They do make mistakes.

You can only get a definitive answer from Moto Guzzi, or taking the heads off to see if it is a large valve engine. What size carbs are on the bike? I recommend you start by contacting the importer instead of taking the engine apart.
 
My genuine Le Mans 2 (bought new in Canada,by me) in fact has both the frame and
engine number starting with VE . Hope this helps. Peter
 
Thanks to all of you, I am trying to get in touch with the US importer and If that is a dead end I will pull one head. I love the bike either way. Just want to know for sure if it is a real Lemans. Will let the tread know when I get to the answer.
 
SEARCH FIRST BEFORE POSTING A NEW TOPIC! IT HAS MOST LIKELY ALREADY BEEN ANSWERED BEFORE. VIRTUALLY EVERY TOPIC HAS BEEN…

So, I have answered this type if question many times. The answer is always the same. It doesn’t change.

Step up to the plate with your money…
