Dave,

Would it be possible to add a vintage MV category to the MV section. I appreciate the consideration.

Regards,

Charles

Are you sincere or are you just trying to start shit?

Currently, I have a 1978 125s that desperately needs restoration. It is my winter project for 2007. Although I would love to get my hands on a early 50's 125 Monoalbero Corsa.

More like bad baby! It is currently in very rough condition. I am planning to do a full restoration next winter. I'll post pics during the process of restoration. Here is what she will look like once completed, http://thebikemuseum.com/master_view...ta&125%20Sport

By the way, thebikemuseum.com is a great MV site for all models including vintage, classic and modern. Check it out, worth the time.

that's a cool bike (or it's going to be when you finsish)

I thought was kinda supricing that you own a crapy RC51 and like MVs

JK-RC51s are OK bikes

Now your talking shit

You know what got me interested in the RC51, the Honda Hawk NT650, I have an 1988. Before that I was into the v4's, vf, vfr, etc. I really like the vtwin and I like the Honda because I can just jump on it and ride.

Nice KTM's, good luck at the races.

I bought it two years ago from my uncle who has owned it since the early 80's. He trashed it shortly after bringing it to the USA(he was a merchant marine at the time) and it has been stored ever since. I have been trying to buy the bike since 1984. He has recently moved on to Hardley's so the perseverance finally paid off.
