In Italy, Sport by Abhi6 Comments

Post-Listing Update: This Moto Morini 3 1/2 Sport was removed from eBay, final sale price unknown. If I created some sort of “Dictionary of Motorcycling”, the Moto Morini 3 1/2 Sport would be the primary example of a cult classic.

Be Like Max – 1996 Aprilia RS250 Chesterfield Edition

In Italy, Sport by AbhiLeave a Comment

If you’ve had your heart set on a Aprilia RS250, some think it doesn’t get better than the Max Biaggi replica Chesterfield Edition.
