Both nice bikes, and yours has the funky chainguard!

HA ! Yes, that is why.
It's a 1962 Model 8 Metralla.
200 cc - 4 speed - 2 stroke
just what I was looking for - fits me and how I will use it better than the Mk2.
Restored to like new by Hugh.
(except for the Avons - those will need to be replaced)
An amazing machine.
Sounds incredible.
Smells incredible.
Handles incredible - weighs around 210 lbs.
Funny getting used to the kick start and foot brake on the left and shift pedal on the right.
It really is the motorcycle version of my 911 Normal.
