1985 italjet trials bike

More than I'd want to pay anyway. Back to thinking about a Cota or Sherpa In part availbilitie the better Option … in look the Piuma and the all grren ones look great: Very first prototypes approved by Schreiber: Later serial green "weight Monster" which came before the Piuma and where sold to the public:.

Actually there was a guy selling all the parts from the American Italjet Importer a couple years back. It was quite the inventory and a couple of new bikes. It was like 48 thousand asking price. He probbly just got tired of them and tossed them out. Somebody should know where they went. Here's another choice. I like this idea better. Beta TR34 Parts on this one I wonder ADV Sponsors. You are looking up the diffcult but nice.

Unless I was buying for parts, I'd avoid any of these older bikes that look like the Craigslist Beta Unfortunately many of the old bikes pass though idiots and end up looking like those dead appliances next to the chained dog being sunburned under six insecurity lights showing off a ratty trailer.

Manuel finally went to Montesa, riding the white Cota Bernie was finishing the season on this green Bultaco copy, but he lost the world championship in to Ulf Karlson.

He wanted to improve the bike for season. The Italjet people changed some things, partly without asking Bernie, the bike put on weight and the engine characteristics did not fit him. Bernie struggled and finished only 6th. Gilles Burgat won on the SWM Same ranking in , 2nd, but then on the SWM Jumbo.

It was then imported by a kids crosser agent, but I think only a few were sold in Switzerland. Maybe the importer was more interested in Motocross plus the trialists in Switzerland were loyal to Bultaco and Orlando Calonder and it was felt almost to be a betrayer to ride an Italjet. The first green model was quite heavy, about 97kg, altough the scan from my prospectus tells 93kg The golden rims look very nice.

Weight still indicated at 92 kg, but must be lighter than the first green Mk I model.
