 Nibbios were 350cc and 500cc.  The 500 was the first 500 to exceed 100 mph.  Oh, silly me, I forgot to mention that they were cars.
 Guzzi also made a 50cc tiddler street legal for those who like two wheelers.  Cute little thing it was.

It is so cool. Several years ago I tried to find a Nibbio. Previously I had been searching for their early version of an 'air stair'. I found 2 in Italy, but how could they be worth the shipping, alone? Plus I'd have to buy an airport. A white one looked to be nearly new and unmolested.  R3~

PS: Chased a brand new dk green 124 Spyder (in Boston), with my wife's 90K mile 500. The 124's seemed to have grown in width; or was it just contrast to the little wanker I was driving ?

I always liked little 50cc "tiddlers", especially one's from Italy...Here is a similar GARELLI 50cc.  Cool beans! :cool: :thumb:
