    I used to own a moto morini 350 cafe racer with dry clutch. Stationary it sounded like emptying the glass container. For every hour you drove it, you needed 4 hours to bolt it back together... those were the days

    Modded? Stock it wouldn't touch an F40 unless the Ferrari driver was being gentle on it. F40s run 12s with a 120+mph trap.

    we used to mod the crap out of 49cc 2 stroke mopeds when i was a young lad. Replaced the 49cc with 80cc polini or big bore chrome DR cilinders, than ad delorto carb, sanding the engine flush from the inside, cut open the variomatic auto transmission so it could shift 3 times instead of 2...they used to run over 110km/h instead of the legal 25km/h When i was 17 i owned a Aprilia futura 50cc wich we modded to run over 140kph! Never modded the brakes tough ? A them good ol nineties
