Post by: albrid-3 on September 19, 2013, 10:27:55 am
I have photos of these Aermacchi Scramblers bikes, does anybody know much about them, what the engine  are like, and the frames they use.

This bike is a 350, but I am not sure what the frame is, does anybody have any idea.

I think the frame is a BSA A65 Frame, I may be wrong though.

I blew up the photo of the top Aermacchi that Dave posted and it's a really cool and interesting aftermarket frame, probably something Italian.

Is the Aermacchi engine the same engine as the Harley Sprint engine, I like the middle photo of the bike.

Are they a heavy engine Mark, compare them with a BSA B50 engine or a xl 350 engine they weigh in at  53 kg.

I think the top one has a Müller frame, Italian.
Not sure how to spell, might be Müeller....
Anyway, cool bike isn't it?
