Nice looker, but I wonder if it still has chrome bores?

I want!  Good thing it's on the other side of the country and we have no room for any more bikes in the garage...

That's a 'buy it now' price. Current bid is $2,500 and hasn't hit reserve yet. You will know when reserve price is met because the buy it now price will disappear.


I'm not understanding why it has an Eldo/GT850 transmission with upside down shift pattern? And if its really from the 850 GT wouldnt it be a 5spd? (1 up/5 down)

I'm guessing he replaced the 850-T shift drum with one from an Eldo. Why? Good question. Still five-speed, but the pattern is reversed. 1 up/5 down would be a six-speed.  :wink:

I've been saying it wrong then:
I would call my Breva "1down/6up" as in: 1st gear at the bottom and 6th gear at the top.
Seems like everyone else would call a Breva/Norge "1 down <one gear below neutral> and 5 up <five gears located above neutral>"


I would call my Ambo "1up, 4 down" but I guess I need to switch to "1 up, 3 down"

I always liked this lovely, clean, Mille GT, seen at the Datil Rally in New Mexico a few years ago...
