Now you've started it.I'll play, didn't even bother looking once I saw this.
I met a Father and 'Son' touring around Greece in 1989 on one of these....uber cool, in fact uber alles.
Ok I did take a peek at the rest, 900ss, Laverda SF750 and Guzzi 750 Sport.
Oh and agree with Kick on the MHR replica replica....yuk.

That's going to be in ny head for a while.
Anyway Flip will be along soon no doubt with that pic drawing him in like a reverse magpie.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.

I was smiling at some of the choices and thinking of your earlier remarks. (For Crasher two strokes rule.)
Previously we only had prices, now we have lovely colour pics too. Brilliant.
I thought that V8 Guzzi was presented as an original? The only quote I can remember was to the effect that it was twenty years since one had come up for sale.
That sort of implies it wasn't original but isn't definitive. I see that the full story can be assessed from the link.

People get squishy over morinis but I'd think that they would be slow as heck opening the volume control.
A Benelli 2C would be quite cool however.

Funny you should say squishy....from the factory most had at least 2mm squish which on a heron head is f'n useless. I did a Dart for BEARS racing which went pretty good in the end. But not exciting IMO. Like porting a snail shell too, inlets curl through 180 degrees in the head castings.
A Benelli 2C has nice running gear compared to it's jap opposition of the period - but the motor is like a Suzuki T10 built in China with Italian electrics....

From memory the morini they had about the same HP as a 250 LC.
But looked ubber cooler.
the bigger ones were no faster than the 350's pretty sure the later they were, the slower they were.
The 2c while pretty, is just a big bored 125. Someone on KB up Auckland has one or two of them, He posts occasionally on ESE.
