There are a couple of '79 Moto Villa 350 mx'ers 5 minutes from me. Been trying for a long long time to get hold of one with no luck yet. One day though...
Cheers,

fair dinkum?

i never thought any came into the country except one 1982 250cc that was raced in Vic by A grader Steven Pendlebury (a mate of mine), the company that brought it in was called Eurotread and i believe it is still in that owners hands to this day.

I could almost throw a stone on his roof. He's had them since new, they are both tidy and running. I should try to talk him into bringing one out for VIPER at Ravo.

Cool Bike this is as i interperet the description ( with the help of my girlfriend ) :)

Completly restored
Many parts new from correct year
Mudgaurds , sidepanels are new not reproductions from incorrect materials
Wheels have been restored inc rims and spokes
Piston is new
To be reviewed shocks , chain , sprockets,
Atten this is not one of the many Enduro 1980 sold as 125 Cross models
this has a double cradle frame . Motor induction is original in every part.
This was the bike that was on the article of a well known mx magazine VMX ?
The article is a villa 125 Cross 1979 ,this is the bike i won every Championship in the 1979 season , see photos with Franco Pico in article.
freight has to be arranged before bidding between byer & Courier.

Hope this helps cheers Bill.

Well interpreted! Italian to English cannot be translated word for word as it makes no sense (like my dad!)
