Welcome. I had to look up the Malaguti Olympique as that was one that skipped my knowledge. What a great looking 50cc bike that is.

Hi Matt - thanks for the Welcome. The Malaguti was a great little thing - sounded great with a big Dellorto carb and filter  - nice induction waaarrp noise and then the twin pipes ringing on the over-run. Wasn’t as temperamental (or fast) as the Garelli Tiger my mate had. It always started first kick which the Garelli never did. Still always wanted an AP50 though!

Thanks Ian - I’ll see if I can post a couple of pics so you can all see what I’m working with.

Hi Guys,

Firstly to the Admins, thanks for accepting me to the site.

I’m based in Norwich, in my early 60s and been a biker since early teens, first riding in fields (mostly bantams and stripped down cubs) then on the road at 16. I was the odd one out that didn’t have a FS1-E or an AP50. Mine was a Malaguti Olympique, all 6.8hp. Then on to RD250s, 400/4s RD400, marriage, cars, kids - now returned to biking and building a small stable bikes that I always wanted. Started with a 1980 Z1000, then 77 GT380 and have now added a 77 CB750f1, which I’m in the process of improving. My everyday bike is a Tracer7.

Joined here to call in experience of other member and hopefully source a few bits n bobs.

Think that should do for now!
