I was watching road racing from Ireland over the weekend.

They had a class for vintage racers that were all of the café style, complete with skinny tires.

It was interesting watching them challenge the course in the rain.

I think I have a problem. My wife is using terms like “hoarder”. I grabbed this from a guy up in anchorage for $3500. Too many bikes. The kid is turning sixteen. And will probably give it to her.

Very nice bike. May I ask for which brand the dart flyscreen originaly was? They dont have one especially for the GB 500 but told me that the one for Triumph T100 or T120 works for the Honda. Can you help? Thanks an best regards

Trick of the light.

The tires are even repos of period correct ones. GPS speedo, high tech battery hidden under the seat connected to a stock bmw charger. The guy put a lot of nice touches on.

Not happy with the drum brakes. And there probably is a way to upgrade. But this is a weekend toy I’m never going to push hard. So i’ll Probably just leave it.

Observed in Boulder and Lafayette since 100F weather.....

No kidding!!!
I've lusted after one of those ever since I bought my '86 Yam. SRX600 Super Single.
That's when I first saw them...Japan and UK only (apparently).
They came in yellow, also. Dunno about other colors.
That one was a For Sale on a UK moto forum many years past.

I bought another Morini

^This! I like these, and I think I've seen two for sale in the last decade.

I bought the first two (73.5 & 74’s) from a co-worker who put them in a storage locker 26 years ago. I am currently restoring them to look like new. The third one, also ‘74, was on the MRC - Morini Riders Club website. It was a show bike in 2014 but got put in a shed and now needs some cosmetic love. Most of the MRC guys are overseas but this bike was in CT. Just a couple hours away.

I like the cafe racer style. The fact that these bikes did more with less - lightweight and great handling but not much power, is really similar to the 914 story and I have a couple of those.

I also think the double drum model of this bike is and will be the most desirable year of the Sport, like a 911 RS. At least in my mind.
