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.

It was 'Monkey Bike' day at CMC in Clay Cross today. Couchie should have gone on his

Some of the MotoGP paddock bikes are real cool.

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.

If price and range are reasonable, could be tempted. If they release before i die

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

i think the answer to that is "hysterical"

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.

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
