French Model 1971
A very rare motorcycle (400 units built, including 100 for the U.S. desert racing market)
The 450 Desmo, paired with a poorly designed chassis, results in a rough-riding and unwieldy motorcycle. That’s why it was a failure!
I own one, but I don’t ride it much—I prefer my BSA Métisse.
I’m looking for magnetic flywheel coils, the same ones used on the 175s from the ’50s and ’60s Rating : 3/5
