Had one of these 20+ years ago and thought as a classic with nimble handling, light weight and almost enough power it would complement the new monster and S/F. So having walked away from an 'onda CB550 four that I'd fancied from the advert, treated myself (bought unseen) to this little analogue Italian. Last MOT 2006, very few miles since and been standing for many years. So far - tank not too bad, it's not seized as it now turns over on the starter, has reasonable compression, all the gears are there, lights all work, brakes OK - after a fashion, all in all not too bad, carbs gummed up but a joy to work on. Should keep me busy, certainly better than decorating
