I think it's a CB200 tank painted in Parakeet yellow 🤔 I hate to say it as I really don't know anything about Shitalian bikes but....I like the look of that one, it looks great fun.

Does anyone know anything about this combination other than it looks well. Is that the 250/4 hornet engine.

It does look like that motor,  and really looks at home in that bike,  nice combination.

I saw one years ago in a early TZ Yamaha which also looked like it belonged there,  sounded fantastic too.

Nothing wrong with Italian bikes I love mine no top end but loads of low end torque and in my opinion thats the best place to have the power for road use.
Thats a V7 in that producing about 48bhp and 40lb torque. You could probbably take 10 horses of of that though as its lost through the shaft drive.
I have been considering outing a few of my bikes and buying a V85TT  butt I think I might miss the 1200's grunt

Whilst over for the Manx. I saw a Francis Barnet with a 185 Bentley engine. Someone had spent a lot of time and effort.
It looked like a factory built job. Very nice indeed.

Not sure I would want open carbs on a trail bike, but I think it looks ok. The other one is stunning, and that little Hornet motor looks right at home. Not sure how the old cycle parts would hold up if you used it... But I doubt that's an issue.

I got no Guzzi hang ups. Loved my old LeMans until an idiot drove into the back of me at a junction.

I'd have another .... But not a toddler. Just can't afford the late model 1200s and won't touch an early 4valve (8 valve) after I read about the flat tappet issues.

I too have a thing for the CB72/77 and that one looks great, though as has been said I don't know how the brakes etc would get on if you really tried on it.

Cheers
