Needs a gap under the seat, extending from just in front of the front wheel to just behind the back, from ground level up to just above the mirror.

Seems to quite a few similar images knocking around - maybe or maybe not?

If you are on LinkedIn follow a guy called Peter Levy who runs a business called RumbleOn, that's where I get the images from.

At my little local bike MOT/repair shop this morning, quite a pretty looking little thing in for a bit of fettling

It is absolutely tiny though, and @weeksy with your known love for its (slightly) bigger brother, it made me think how it might look with you on one for the Moto Giro :D

The engine looks like a Minnarelli, it was also used in a Laverda 125

I think someone spiked my porridge with a class A, but, I'm actually finding that quite interesting. :shifty:

Hmm, I may have my wires crossed here, but my understanding was that these were MV's own design engines?
And I am pretty sure the 125 Laverdas had 2-stroke Zundapp motors in, well at least the 70s/80s ones that I remember did !

No I'm wrong, turns out it's a 4 stroke MV engine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MV_Agusta_125_Sport_SE
And again you're right the Laverda has a Zundapp engine, I should really Google things before I post, but where's the fun in that?

The 350 MV looks a lot like a Suzuki X7 but predates it by 3 or 4 years
