Personally, I doubt anyone's ever offered for commercial sale anything better than these. One has recently caused a stir as a barn find in the USA so they're still around...

pretty sexy beast....rocking horse poo though

no wonder the barn find in the US stirred things up.
A 500 Montjuic would be just as nice to find too being a bit more raw edged and anti-social

I know of a Monty in ChCh - though the owner has robbed the Brembos off it for his special...

So what I want from you, the imaginary voices in my head, is a link to the one bike for sale (anywhere in the world) that you go "Yup, that is perfect and I wouldnt have to change anything". And I will ridicule your choice because, well, because.

My entry so far is one of these:

though I am not sure how practical it might be for going down the shops for some fush n chups.

Ye're dreaming .. I doubt there is any bike out there that a rider would not want to change in some ways. I've always changed something - on every bike I've owned.

I could only find this Pic but the german importer Witt made up these with a Harris frame and body work that was pretty much similar to a harris F2 Ducati

The real thing is sitting right beside it

I'd bet those harris framed ones are using hotted up Alpina engines

Actually I'm sure I've seen a small article on them in one of the earlier Streetbike mags

The real thing is in the background were it belongs............

Yip re streetbike that where i had seen them also it was part of a write up on Witt with his fuel injection and ignition kits for the Jotas.
they were Sfc600's i think he was going to build more but Laverda were to sick to supply the engines.
