I actually did not take many.  The first shots before restoration got lost with a phone.  He had misplaced the original speedometer, but we found the horn.  All had been removed to save weight.\






The record was 78.2 if I remember right.  While it may not seem that fast I have sat on the thing and it is tiny to say the least.  He did odd stuff to shed weight as well.  He took off the seat and rode on a towel as well as made rigid lightweight links to replace the rear shocks.  Weight was a concern lol.

He says it did wheelies in the first three gears when new.  To top it all off I can pick the entire bike up in my arms with no help from anyone.  Looking forward to riding it this summer  Dolph

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Sure looks that way. That's a hell of a primary cover, too.

I can't wait until Marquez gets on his level and makes Jorge trip on his tampon string.

That cover hides a really large flywheel. Above the flywheel you can see starter. Here it is with the cover removed...

That looks like a generator, v-belt drive like a car, 6 volt.  Lips Sealed

What year is that?

The civilian model Nuovo Falcone pictured above is pretty rare. They made a lot more of the military versions.

BMW still runs car-style alternators on the boxers AFAIK.

i had to ride one at work years ago, and after my boss told me they were used by lots of italian police i commented that it would be flat out keeping up with a shifty gipsy on a horse.

de tomaso killed all this old crap off i believe.
