Not sure if this is the one we discussed a while back. Some interesting historical photos too. Carlo may be familiar with this all. MikeV
https://iconicmotorbikeauctions.com/auc ... race-bike/I must say that reading the text written under the photographs, there are very large inaccuracies, it mentions a Verlicchi frame modified by Moretti.
This statement is completely illogical, given that Verlicchi was the tt2 that we all know, Moretti first made a frame very similar to the Verlicchi, with much larger tubes, but immediately after doing so, he discarded the project, because he wanted extract the rear cylinder head without dismantling the engine block, and then made the first progressive link on the swingarm, tested by Walter Villa with extreme success.
This motorbike is mentioned with the surname Faralli, he is a very dear friend who collaborated with Moretti, He is the owner of Leandrini's motorbike, which came second on equal merit with Fabio Barchitta's GPM.
He had a frame that he had replicated himself, I wouldn't want that bike to be Faralli's.
The motorbike is beautiful, full of accessories, but on a historical level I don't know what to say, if you look at the motorbikes in the photograph, where there are red arrows indicating the riders, you can see motorbike number 60, that is my motorbike, he he is a dentist who followed Leandrini Sakamoto's dancing company, but did races without commitment, a passionist, but like all passionists, he knew and wanted the most from his motorbike, and as I think I said once, the engine was completely made in NCR workshops, I know I'm talking about my bike, but I can assure you that inside it is a work of art, all lightened and polished as only Giorgio Nepoti could do.
I hope the translator works well.
Hello friends.
