HJ Pugh auction - Morini project

[RobinSF1]

This appears to be a single cylinder off road bike, from the photo I can't even tell if it is a Morini! Auction Fri/Sat this week.

I think it’s a Cimatti Caiman with a Franco Morini engine. One of those 70’s sports mopeds which were faster than a Yamaha fs1e…briefly!

Is that 'briefly' as in production briefly or went faster briefly before BANG!?

I had a Honda but I think the sound track was a loud high pitched scream (may have been the bike, or perhaps the pilot) then BANG!!… then silence.
