Up for sale is a fantastic piece of Italian, post-war design. This bike wears a beautiful patina, exudes style and shows that even simple machines can be elegantly designed. I purchased this bike 4 years ago, from a man that had it on display in his office with the hope of restoring it mechanically. Life has proved too large a distraction from seeing that through. Included with the motorcycle are two petcocks, 6v bulbs, a 6v battery, and a PDF repair manual (in Italian). The good: -The engine/internals all move freely and are lubed -The brakes work -The fork is a little soft but otherwise in a good state -With the key on, power gets from the battery to the fuse box, light, and horn -Brevetti slip-on muffler The bad: -I have no idea when it was last registered and is sold with a Bill of Sale only -It does not start, just want to be clear on this -The tires are older and show cracks, I would not ride on them -Missing one of the knurled bolts that hold one of the compartments shut
