Difficult to say really. The frame and bottom half of the running gear is 1980 Spada, but it had Le Mans 2 tank fitted at some stage early 80s . . . . . as they all did.

Thank you, good advice.

Thanks Jenny, yes joined the MM Club. I have had Guzzi's in the past, but this is my first Moto Morini. I did notice several false neutrals while riding the MM, which is very reminiscent of Guzzi gear boxes. It must be an Italian thing! I will check out what publications there are in the members area.

It was registered as a 1976 Strada, but the frame number seems to make it an erlier bike. "A/2 is an original Strada/Touring frame. Numbering started at 03001". My frame number is 3038, which would explain the front mudguard being from a 1973 model? The tank looks to be from a sport, as th...
