You do have good tastes.  I had never seen a 500 in black.  Was it a stock paint job?

Thanks for pointing that out.  I can see the valve head is very similar or perhaps the same as the valve head sticking out of the 1 cyl 175cc engine in the Chimera.

Early Bimota with what looks to be a Honda CB750 engine.  Looks like you could buy it as a kit with a chromoly frame and aluminum tank.

I know I like my '69 Sprint SS350

[Travman]

Very nice, looks great in with the orange paint.  Please post up more pics of your Sprint if you have them.  I'd love to see a Sprint with a rider on it to gauge how big they are.

Morini 500's came in 3 colors in Europe.  There were probably 100 x as many sold there as here.  They only sold them briefly here, I think they were actually not officially represented.
