I recall 125s and 165s in the 60s. Italian Aermacchii (sp) is correct. Same era that Sears & Roebuck was selling rebranded Puch 2 strokes in their catalog.


The 125 was known as the "Hummer", starting a whole era of insults...

Aermacchis sold as Harley-Davidsons (From Wik)

Aermacchi motorcycles sold in US with Harley-Davidson badging.
