Scud Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Good luck with the sale. My 1989 LeMans is a lot of fun to ride, makes a good stable mate to the V11. I assume the Mille would be similar, isn't it basically the same as the LeMans 1000 except for the fairing and the more upright riding position? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Pretty sure the Mille is a small valve engine. I had a Strada, which is similar, has the great medium valve engine, and when naked and unafraid looked very much like my LM5 in the same condition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pressureangle Posted March 13, 2022 Author Share Posted March 13, 2022 Yes, it's a Tonti frame and handles just like the LeMans but easy around town. I didn't measure the valves, but I would call them 'Medium' compared to the LM heads. It's actually a good fun bike, really nice for day rides to the flea and cafe. I just have too many other projects to give this one what it needs cosmetically, and somebody has to sleep outside for space in the garage.

I am too old school for this new thing. Ohh well. No. It's the reluctance to deal with people disparaging the seller because 'his price is unrealistic' and 'Ah hain't never see'd one sell that high, bought one fifteen years ago for less than half that'. If you can't make an offer, you can't be expected to pay the asked price. People aren't what they were 20 years ago, especially not online. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
