1987 AMA Battle of the Twins Champion

Doug Brauneck races the beautiful Dr. John Wittner-built Moto Guzzi LeMans at Road America in 1988. Brauneck won the AMA Battle of the Twins Championship on the shaft-driven Guzzi in 1987. Dr. John rode Moto Guzzi machines in American endurance races before building this bike with direct support from the Moto Guzzi factory.

This motorcycle modified more than any superbike of today using a warehouse-load of trick magnesium parts many designed by Dr. John with assistance from the Guzzi factory.
