Fantic Motor anyone?

Just bludging here watching some pre-recorded ISDE stuff from 60/70/80s and I saw a red Italian – bike that is, with what looked like USD forks in what looked like ’81. That’s interesting I thought, might look that bike company up. And then look what I found:

Interesting surprise. Did a search on here and found nothing. So here you are, something knew to salivate over. 2-stroke haters can move along. Only 125/250/300 here thanks very much. Real enduro bikes, ooops did I say that out loud? Actually there are also 4-strokes on their main .it site for those into those sorts of bikes.

Good find axel, they were a very popular trials tool in the 80s when I was riding in the uk at that time, I never had one but my mate was a Fantic UK sponsored rider for them so I used to get plenty of opportunity to ride them.
Very well made and pretty much bulletproof, if these modern ones are as good they will do ok

50mm forks on the 300 :ohmy:

Need a pipe guard, be a real shame to ding up the hand crafted expansion chamber.

Hand crafted AND dent resistant! Looks so very much like my Gas Gas
