Comments from the seller

I am the second owner of this bike for >30yrs and have the original 1978 bill of sale from the original owner. Its an Australian delivered bike with all original frame, engine, wheels, bodywork etc. as shipped from Bologna factory with 40mm Dellorto carbs and Conti mufflers. Engine was fully rebuilt by Ian Gowanloch at his Belmore shop, and refreshed approx. 1,000Klms ago by Mike Soderland at Gowanloch's in Kingsgrove. Currently holds NSW Historic Rego but no joy-rides available.
