I don't know about you but very similar to the guzzi enduro/Dakar rigs, no?

Strange. Most Bulls have had the crap beat out of them. This one looks like it's been sitting under a tarp all that time.. just rusty and neglected.

I still wish I'd kept the Metralla. I sold it nearly 50 yrs. ago. Huge fun. Quick. Light. Looked great, too.
Seized it 2x, plus a few squeakers. I still ride 2 stroke street/race bikes; and always cover the clutch.  R3~

Two strokes run the absolute best they've ever ran.. right before they seize.  :grin:

That model supposed to be an ISDT bike and is a direct peer/competitor of the Guzzi Stornello ISDT.   It does have a number of details & cues similar to the MG ISDT that I had. Super interesting bikes, but it left the herd before I redid it. 

Sold to a guy near Memphis around 97 iirc who already had 1-2 of them. Maybe he's a wg member.
