   I know its not an Aprillia but I built this old girl in 99 and used it until end 2002 where it just sat around deteriorating until I sold it to a man who promised to restore it in mid 2008.

Well its finally finished. See http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=w4txw&s=4

877.5cc using 916 crank and 900ss high comp pistons in essentially the frame for 34 BHP Pantah 500 ! pumps about 65 BHP to rear wheel and 50lb-ft. Jetting is way too rich at the top, so over 70 at the wheel is poss and probably get it up to 55lb-ft.

I suppose this is c80 BHP flywheel corrected and 65lb-ft crank. Not bad for an experimental 30 yr old air cooled 2 valve twin !

Anyway the new owner has done me proud and it is as pretty as a picture in my eyes. Also picked up some silverware at a Classic Show in Paris recently.
