Any thoughts on selling the frantic 301 ? I have a few Honda rtl and other special Hondas to trade ?

How a bike runs depends on the condition of the engine, carburators and ignition system, and fine tuning of carburators and ignition. The sound of the motorbike depends on the type, condition and age of the exhaust. A 3C in a better condition could run much better than the other 2 Laverdas🙂

You didn't fire it up? 😢

I own a 750 Ducati Paso myself but I would prefer putting on F1 pipes on that bike because I have F1 pipes on my Ducati Paso and it sounds awesome. There are a lot of pipes out there but the F1 sounds fabulous on the Ducati Paso. Just advice

Man is really like to get me and my boys up to the smart program with this weather

This in mn?

Thanks for the video..how many kilometres to change the Filter? Is it every time you change the oil,...you change filter to!! Thanks aganin

Over here in the UK, 123 and 172 engine parts are really tough to source. I have a 172 with a broken kickstart gear, been sitting for a year, just can't get the parts❤

I've had them all, the 247 was my favourite too❤

Hello from sunny (😂j Enniskillen NI, UK. I had two 3 1/2 Sports in the eighties which I loved. One of them I bought from North Leicester Motors, or NLM. Now NLM was owned by Stuart who could wax lyrical about Morinis and Ducatis for hours, and was an absolute pleasure to listen to. When Stuart retired, his son Chris took over the business and changed the name to Lusso Veloce. Now bear in mind Chris grew up on Morini 3 1/2s and tells of how he would surprise his friends on GS1000s and Z1000s with his ability to keep up on high speed runs. If you would like to see Chris putting a properly sorted 3 1/2 through it's paces on the road go to the Lusso Veloce site here on youtube and search for "Moto Morini 350 Sport ride out and flyby." Prepare to be amazed. Regards, Mike

Purrs like a kitten ! Reminds me of my old air cooled Fantic ✊🏻💨

How do you find the ergonomics? I’m interested in the Paso but there isn’t one anywhere near me. Have a 32” inseam and am 6’4”

Hi, great review of the Paso. I live in the UK, and this was my first 'modern' bike, I bought in 1990. It was exactly the same metallic blue as yours - I assumed it was an import from the States. I did a number of mods to it over the 8 years or so that I owned it. The Weber carb problems were a result of the carbs being originally intended for an Italian super-car, and the choke size was far too large for the 375cc cylinders of the Paso. I did some research, and modified the carbs, using smaller choke inserts, and doing a mod to the butterfly opening edge, to allow the progression jets to work correctly. (I posted a detailed article in the Ducati Owners UK magazine, showing how to carry out the mods). in the UK climate, the engine was way over-cooled with the twin oil coolers, so I partially blanked them off, to get the running temps up. Finally, I had a pair of 17ins wheels made by a company in Salisbury (probably no longer there!), which mad a vast improvement to the handling. The 16 ins wheels were notorious for causing the bike to 'sit up' badly if you had to do any trail braking in corners, which could be very bad news in UK traffic, and getting the correct tyres was becoming almost impossible. Overall a great, and distinctive bike, which I wish I still had.

Beautiful bikes,thank you for the chance to see them,the Honda's are masterpieces of engineering excellence,theJCM is interesting and looks quite similar to Fantic's later designs,regards from England.

Nice bikes 🍻

It’s an ‘85 JCM 303.

I say it’s a ‘75 Moto Morini 3 1/2 Sport but this is in fact a Strada.

Id love to have a 125 honda.

Sweet ride i have a 1999 monster cromo 900 that could use some of that love

Hi I’m having trouble Went for a ride and it died at a stop and wouldn’t start. I have the work shop manual and there is no trouble shooting ideas. I put it out there and of no avail it still will not start. Have you any ideas. I checked all fuses. I hear the fuel pump. Battery is very strong and the bike turns effortlessly.

The Benelli, Morini and Laverda's do it for me. Lovely collection.

I owned many bikes over the years. That was my favorite. Had 93 (that year had black wheels) only mods did were carbon fenders, DP carbon pipes, corbett aftermarket seat, open airbox, maybe changed the rear sprocket. It rode like a dream. Feels very small, light nimble as you noted. Extremely comfortable imo. Extremely stable also. And of course the sound was very intoxicating. I had 748, 916, many difft Monsters. The 900SS/SP was my favorite. Great review.

alaazzura means blue wing😊used to ride her for a number of years in the nineties 😅

Molto belle 🤩👍

The 450 desmos were good for 45 hp (the 250 was up to 33 hp..) as a streetable, startable ride.

Lately, I’ve been doing a lot of reading on the carburetor setup on the 650 Ally and I see that all 3 series of engines (500, 600, 650) all use the same sized carbs, 36mm. Even the jet sized are the same within some margins. I’ve owned my 600SL for 30 plus years and the bike runs rich, before the rebuild, it would sometimes sputter and also smell like unturned gas. Now, it runs better, but there are still issues. My question to you is, how does this Ally run? Are you getting full performance out of it?

Last but not least, the 71 CL70. The predecessor to my first bike, the 1972 Honda CL100 street bike at the age of 10. We just moved to a rural Michigan area, kids on bikes all over the place in 74. So My Dad bought my brother and I a trail bike too. Well, it was 2 years old, new as a left over, and only $300.00,---so my next bike was a trail bike. :) I did find out I was a better mechanic than a rider though with that street bike. I removed the blinkers, headlight, taillight, speedo, and mirrors,--all with no tools. (crashing) :)

1:23 Benelli. I thought that was a bicycle company. Famous for their greenish painted frames. :)

I have the exact same bike, same colour too. Full fairing version in yellow. Its a 2003 bike but i think it was built maybe 2001 or 2002. Im in the UK, SCOTLAND, I think between 1999 and 2003 only 46 750SS ie were imported, colours were Red, Yellow, Bkack and a mix of full fairing and half fairing, not all had the double disc on the front wheel, possibly the black version .

Mine was grey n cream paint. Hung fairings up,put 2 into one on.

You tube..Hey TH-cam! I keep ‘not interested’ these vids about the ugliest bikes ever to crawl out of Italy but you keep recommending them.. please stop! I’d rather have a car than one of these poxy looking things Cheers

How do you collect? That's an unusual collection.

I had both the 125 and the later 250. The 125 was best. I found the 250 to sluggish.

Thank you!

I lived in Italy in the 70s and 80s, MV, Laverda, Guzzi, Cagiva, Ducati (as well as many more lesser-known names) were producing beautiful yet often "quirky" bikes. You also had Bimota and the incredible local supply chain, wheels, suspension ... Italian genius. You have a stunning bike, I am sure it will continue to give you many hours of pleasure

I've had the pleasure of witnessing Miller on the TL250 competing and winning many times in the mid to late 1970's. My friends who were riding Montesa and Ossa who were very good riders regarded Miller and his Honda as their arch nemesis.

My mark 3 450 had crippling kickback.

Your garage is too crowded and at immediate dager of parking scratch mishap. I got some extra room for a few bike for you free. Guaranteed to keep them nice and clean and well oiled.🥲

Now you are boasting! 😎😎😎

Allazzura means Blue Wing. Note: The footrest assemblies where taken from the Pantah TL touring versions. A very nice Ducati in all but name.

What happened to your Morini Sport?

great looking alternative 90s bike.

My father died recently and left me his 1974 450cc Ducati Desmo. He bought it brand new and it has covered less than 1,000 miles. Indeed, it’s been in his garage in mothballs since 1980. It’ll need stripping and cleaning but it’s beyond me. I’ll be selling it so if you’re interested let me know. The bike’s in the UK although I now live in Australia. Martin

Undo the fill cap BEFORE you start letting oil out. You want to make sure that cap isn't seized before you drain your motorcycle. If it's stuck and you still have oil in, you can ride it to a shop. If it's stuck and you've taken all your oil out, now you need to pay for a tow truck. Filler cap off first, always.

yamaha grizzly 90 the best frr

Still got my Cheney cantilever ossa from 74,never seen another one at a trial or for sale ,fitted with a Kieth horseman reed valve, it was an incredible bike ,

In South Africa in the early 80's these 600's (583cc) won the 750cc superbike (Road bikes) titles and the 500 the 560 superbike titles. They increased the 500cc class size from 560cc to 575cc to include the Honda CBX 550 (573cc) but wouldn't go any bigger so at to not include the Ducati 600 which was already winning in the 750cc class. The handling and aerodynamics on these bikes was much better than the Japanese bikes even though the power on the Ducati was much less.( I raced a 500 Pantah at that time, I still have it in the garage)
