Actually I've only 2 bikes because of small indoor space at my disposal, let's say thanks God I'm free from temptations; I love vintage bikes, especially italian road bikes from the 60s-70s especially mid-small size twin-cylinder ... well I'm outlining it: the MV Agusta 350 Sport was released in october 1970 and then in april 1972 came the Sport Elettronica version, which is the one I have. When I was young, these motorcycles fascinated a whole generation and everytime I ride it around some over-50 aged guy tells me enthusiastic words and believe me, this really moves me. The bike has on the tank an original sticker celebrating 37 world awards winned by the brand (everyone knows about Giacomo Agostini, he was a hero in my childhood times). It was my gift for my 50th birthday, but I bought when I was 49 cos I knew it would take a lot of time to make it working: indeed it took years, and at last I can say this is a great bike to drive, its performance is quite remarkable even more in comparison to its times. Pity that nearly nowhere in Italy you can safely drive it in daytime: you know, no turn signal, no rear-wiew mirrors, drum brakes ... and facing nowaday's insane driving! I usually do at dawn on sunday. The bike is registered in the Historical Record of the Italian Motorcycle Federation at n°119205. You can see it at: Classic MV Agusta
