Thanks for posting that. 

That bike looks great from the left side.
I remember back to when those came out, I was so disappointed to see the other side.

Moto Minarelli



We've got two of these tiny john deere colored GP bikes at the shop. I can't sit on one without bustin' the pegs clear off, I think. Teeeny tiny.

i'd like to buy that headlight and brackets.

header wrap is neat and all, but i like ceramic coating better since there's no risk of catching fire, and it doesn't look sloppy

Agreed. Very nice and I also like that smaller headlight. Hmmmm... I need to stop looking at this thread!

100 years ago I raced a tiny Moto Minarelli.... this one in fact...



The other Italian bike in that photo is an MBA Morbidelli 125. A thing of beauty.  Here's a better picture of another one..
