UTR-ss350.jpg Pretty sure this was to compete with the CB 350 twin.Those were all over the road like horse apples back then.That Baja 100cc was from there too,they had a ton of ground clearance.

Well, my "import" isn't Italian, rather, it's Japanese.
HAD to have it when Honda announced last year the re-birth of the Honda Cub. It's now evolved into Honda Super Cub C125. This lil' bike brings me back to the good old days. Stock set-up with 4-speed allows 60+- MPH and normal riding achieves 130.4 mpg so far.
I've added: a. windshield b. windshield pouch c. luggage rack d. saddlebags e. tailbag for extra storage f. tachometer / hour meter (inductive pickup).
It's GREAT for running small errands from where I live out in the countryside up to town.
FYI: Honda is also making the same model for 2020, it will be red & creme', compared to mine that is deep navy blue and sky blue, with Hondas typical red seat.
 
Yes I do remember those guys, HD was really struggling for market share, never owned one tho

hi the bikes were made by aermacchi … i do not think they were overly sucesful. i think there were 125cc 350cc ..were very cute and more like street scramblers
 
I remember the "baja" scrambler, 125cc dual-purpose. Then the "sprint" 350cc single four-stroke.
I believe harley owned the Aermacchi plant in Italy back then.
