  1. In the 1960's I had an old 50cc bike that I gave to some local lads to ride on the fields...... It was a Ducati Cucciolo !!!:(
     
  2. is it still there ?
     
  3. I am afraid not :(
    I wasn't even a standard Cucciolo. It was a modified (butcherd) Cylo Britax Hurricane racer. See below.




    '1955 50 Britax Hurricane - 001Using a 50cc Cucciolo motor this British racer was sold for a limited time starting in 1955. It featured Austentic valves, double coil valve springs, megaphone exhaust and Amal carb. Weight was 97 lbs. Top speed of 50 mph plus. The price was just under £100.'
