I'm not quite sure of the age, but I'd guess it's 98+, probably a Millennium based on the horncast. A little over 16,000km on the ODO when I bought it. It might be an Italian used import, because it has a (I think) Italian dealership sticker on the underside of the seat, at least a sticker in either Italian or Spanish there, I'm not too knowledgeable in Romance languages .
Not all fun and games, though. Had to pull the head and lapp it because it was leaking. Also noticed a crack in the barrel, but it turned out to be nothing, there's a ring cast in the cooling fins around the exhaust stub , that's where the crack was. The rest of the the barrel is good.
Will get kitted with with a Pinasco or Polini once I have the funds. For now maybe just a SIP road. Kind of silly when a 200cc 2 stroke gets out accelerated by a 125cc 4 stroke.
Man, does it sound nice, though. That great gurgle-gurgle-cough-cough at idle, but sounds like a diesel truck under load.

The SIP Road waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay increases power compared to the stock pipe. And yours probably has a converter which makes it worse.

I thought using car tires on bikes was being 'darkside'?
It is with the goldwing riders over on pashnet forum.
