welcome aboard champ.
i raced an 83 125 Cagiva in the Newcastle area with the BelmontMCC around 84/85~ish.
the harder i rode it the better it went. the front brake was crap and the rear brake lever was mounted in the engine case and broke off with ease {unfortunately}.
i loved that bike, it was tall, but did so much so well.
good luck with your resto and welcome aboard.
cool bike 8)
