Look close. Someone said it's a flat-4 2-stroke.

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet. Yeah I noticed that motor, it is wild! Whats up with the crazy belt system?

Old? depends upon your perspecive. I loved my Moto Guzzi Le Mans II - fantastic bike. I also had a Ducati 900ss Desmo Darmah- temperamental beast and sounded like the devil farting

and I think that you'll find Squeak will chime in if he see's that piccie - he's a very keen Italian fan too.

I'm pretty sure the Barber Motorsports Museum in Leeds, AL (near Birmingham) has one of those too. They've got just about near near every motorcycle model ever made, and still adding to the collection. It's the world's largest privately owned collection. A real gem that sits next to the Barber race track (that several Indy drivers, including Danica Patrick recently did a test session on).

Very Cool Thanks for Sharing!

I saw a recent Tag Line on the cover of a Motorcycle Mag that read

They have club days at BIR (brainerd international raceway) in Minnesots every summer. Lots of older bikes show up and take laps. This year, their introducing a new track designed with motorcycles in mind. More turns, eliminating the long straight aways. Should be very cool.

That sounds like a bunch of fun! I have an '87 BMW R80RT that I need to dig out of the garage soon, if it ever warms up! My friends did a track day at brainerd last fall with the corvette club, but i couldnt make it. I track a 2001 Boxster S, I am nowhere NEAR good enough on a bike to think about that!

Fortunately, I'm adhering to a pretty strict, uh, drug, uh, regimen to keep my mind, you know, uh, limber.

Oh yeah!

The Vintage Class was always fun to watch and of course lurk the pits and see the history of the sport.
