Thats some impressive miles taken care of by those good old Tonti bikes. You are certainly a Tonti Guzzi guy!

I love my 1996 Cali 1100 Tonti framed rocket. It’s just sensational with exquisite handling and ride all day fun . It might shift like a school bus but I’ll never part with it.

I have ridden the cali and there is an element of fun that is unique in the way they feel and perform. One day I will own one perhaps for touring.

I’ve owned 4 Tonti frame Lemans bikes. A Mk I, (2) Mk III’s, and the one I still own, a 1990 LM 1000 Mk V. Also owned a 1995 1100 Sport (non Tonti, of course). The LM 1000 engine is a peach, and surprisingly strong. Much more power than the 850 LM’s. However, the price for that power is enormous valves that needed to be set at a very high angle to fit in the combustion chamber. This resulted in rocker arm geometry that heavily loaded the valve stems and contributed to relatively rapid valve guide wear (40k miles is about where they start to really suck oil down the guides). Not the end of the world. The pistons and rings can go 100k miles if you don’t abuse them. Even on the early LM’s with spindly 35 mm forks, the handling is remarkably good. A bit idiosyncratic, but highly capable. The 40 mm forks on the LM 1000’s were a noticeable, but not strictly necessary, improvement. The linked brakes, when properly bled, are one of the bikes unsung features. I think it works fabulously. Finally, be extremely careful with the final drives, good quality ring/pinion gears are unavailable. The key (and I’ve learned this the hard way), is to get the final drive unit in the hands of someone that knows how to set the gear contact patch. This is crucial. Most of the talk you’ll hear about setting up the drives is just rules of thumb to approximate proper gear engagement. There’s really only one way to do it, and it can be a tedious, and time consuming process. But if done right, it’s worth every penny you’ll pay.

I have had my 1000S for over twenty years now, it’s been on numerous trips : France, Spain, Italy, Ireland, Scotland and lots of local blasts. I have only had an exhaust valve issue, otherwise pretty bomb proof. Such a great thumping motor in that brilliant chassis. Best purchase I ever made!

@@rustynuts82 I think the 1000s really nails the sweet spot of sportiness and long distance comfort. My friend bought one new and I’ve ridden it quite a few times. Great bike! I _think_ the very first 1000s bikes came with the LM 1000 engine, but most had a slightly de tuned (and much better, imo) engine. The changes were to use the medium valve heads (similar to an 850 LM) and a milder cam profile. The result is a bit less top end, but more mid range, better fuel economy, and much longer lasting valve guides. And of course they so beautiful!

Yep, mines an early one with the tuned motor. Still thumps along two up with luggage no problem. Interestingly the economy was slightly better than my son’s V11 on the trip to Spain.

@@rustynuts82 in my younger days I used to do quite a bit of multi-day ‘sport touring’ on my LM 1000, and agree the engine is a fine companion on long rides. Still, after having ridden my friends ‘world engine’ 1000s, I think, overall, I prefer that version. Regarding fuel use, both my 1100 carb sport and LM 1000 got roughly 38-40 mpg. I’ve only test ride experience with the injected v11’s. Anyway, nice chatting, and don’t sell that 1000s. I promise you, you’ll regret it.
