I spelled the name wrong in the title lol Its Aermacchi. Stumbled upon this motorcycle today and am in love with the looks! Already scoured google for information but looking for any first hand info on these bikes. Its a 1972 Aermacchi 350 and I am ready to call this guy to go look at it. http://milwaukee.craigslist.org/mcy/2583093311.htm l (Message edited by trbulnt on September 06, 2011) |

They've got quite a following. Network with other riders/owners. We have a few folks who own/ride/race them out here. |

I have had them through the years I loved the sx the ss is a street model. The kicker gears are real shoddy on em they are prone to spit the spark plug, everything in backwards or english style and all the gears are down I really liked them though. |

Yup, that's an old HD 350 Sprint. They used to make flat trackers out of them. They were cool as heck. |
