The bike is a solid runner and is a hoot to ride, and is perfect for entry in the MOTO GIRO . The engine is so cool to watch with the external valve train and bacon slicer flywheel, it looks alive! Onlookers at shows are fascinated with this bike and she always draws a big crowd.

The Airone currently has a Keihin carburetor on it, with the original intake manifold. I have the original Dell’orto and the velocity stack, but I was never able to get the bike to start easily and idle consistently with it.

It's been about two years since was ran the bike last. She's been stored with no gasoline in a dry, temperature controlled environment, and the inside of the tank is rust-free, as you can see in the photos. There are a couple of check lines in the paint on the rear fender's tip and also at the edge of the left side tank knee pad. Tires are in good shape, are old, and installed when the bike was restored.

The flywheel could stand to be rechromed - I've never gotten around to it. I have the paint formula and a small bottle of touch-up paint, as well.

This Airone an uncommon version, as most of the one’s you will see are much newer and have telescopic forks, and enclosed valve train. These pressed steel forks are rare and I know of only one other similar bike here in the States, and it’s not in near the condition of this gem. The exposed hairspring valve train is really fun to watch in action.

You have a truly uncommon opportunity to add a super nice Airone to your collection. Thanks for looking.
