An exceedingly small number of Series 2 bikes were white. Most Mk I bikes were brilliant red and black although a very small number were painted in metallic ice blue. The extra cost compared to the "cooking" T3 model paid for performance items such as high compression domed pistons, larger inlet and exhaust valves, Dell'Orto 36mm pumper carbs with filterless mesh grey plastic velocity stacks, Tomasselli clip-ons and quarter-turn throttle. The taillight and guard was the biggest change between Series 1 and 2 but other modifications included later inclusion of a tripmeter, black fork lowers, a more generous dual seat that replaced the split-proned original seat, exhaust pipe heel guards and inferior fuel taps and altered front indicator stem bracket. This was also used on the Mark II and SP models. The second production run, known as the Series 2 and totaling around 4,000 bikes, used a De Tomaso-designed rectangular taillight/reflector and modified rear guard. Fewer than 2,000 of the round taillight bikes were made. The first run, known as Series 1, used the roundish CEV stop/taillight used on many Italian bikes of the decade and is known to have continued until at least September, 1976. The Mark I had two production runs with slight modifications. In 1977 Roy Armstrong won Britain's Avon Production Machine championship on a standard bike fitted with production race kit, and it had multiple race success during the AMA Superbike Championship in the US. A 1973 factory prototype finished 4th in the 24-hour race at Barcelona's Montjuïc circuit. It was named in homage to the 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race track in France. A marketing success, competing with other Italian superbikes, it spawned four later models until its ultimate model of the late 1990s. The Le Mans used matt black instead of traditional chrome to offset paintwork, and debuted the tank-hugging one-piece seat made from injection molded foam. The power output measured at the back wheel was some 71 bhp, giving a top speed of around 130 mph. It was developed from the earlier V7 Sport model but moved performance far beyond the interim 750S and the 750 S3. It had debuted at the Milan motorcycle show in November 1975, although the groundwork started several years before the eventual production version appeared. Although often referred to as the Le Mans Mark I, the first Le mans model was known by the factory as the 850 Le Mans, and is part of a long list of Moto Guzzi motorcycles developed since the company's inception nearly 100 years ago. Released in 1976, the 850 Le Mans was styled as a cafe racer. Volvo Eicher commercial vehicles limited.

The following table contains a list of mainly commonly used WMIs, although there are many others assigned. The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) in the US assigns WMIs to countries and manufacturers. Common auto-manufacturing countries are noted. In practice, each is assigned to a country of manufacture. The first character of the WMI is the region in which the manufacturer is located. For example, within 1G (assigned to General Motors in the United States), 1G1 represents Chevrolet passenger cars 1G2, Pontiac passenger cars and 1GC, Chevrolet trucks.
Moto guzzi engine identification numbers code#
Some manufacturers use the third character as a code for a vehicle category (e.g., bus or truck), a division within a manufacturer, or both. A manufacturer that builds fewer than 1000 vehicles per year uses a 9 as the third digit and the 12th, 13th and 14th position of the VIN for a second part of the identification. The first three characters uniquely identify the manufacturer of the vehicle using the World Manufacturer Identifier or WMI code.
