Name the bike

[DaveM]

OK, my formal go rather than the previous thinking in public ...
I'm having a punt on Ferrari, about 150 or 160cc, very early 50's.

I just did a Google on it and a very interesting pipe design here and I cannot work it out why they would do something like this

Ferrari Motorcycles 1952 Ferrari 150 Sport

 

[Dschief]

It is indeed a 1952 Ferrari 150 Sport. A very rare bike that was only made in the early 50's.

Sorry, I don't always have net access, so I can only get on when I'm home with the compu-tator. I have one, no make that two, stupid phones. None of my phones are very smart. LOL!

Lol it is not a problem I find even with my Blackberry I am a bit limited to what I can do on the net but it sure beats no internet at all.

So we still have Kevins one to ID any takers it's an easy one come on now

Maker?
Model?
Year?

Not too hard, those who read all posts may remember a tip I mentioned a couple of weeks ago about ID-ing similar bikes from the front brake plate.

This belonged to one of my riding mates back in 1970, we were interstate on holiday. Note the fold up chair on the back. LOL.

It's exactly what I thought it was but checked to be certain.
Not entering as I've been monopolising the thread.

 

[DaveM]

I am also going to hang back and let someone else have a go at it

 

[Doug]

At 54 pages,is this the longest string we've had?

 

[DaveM]

[otherwise]

Lets move it on, I think it's a Crocker.

Close enough, your go.

According to the place that the photo came from,
BMW
R26
1956

 

[Dschief]

Ok, try this one.

 

[otherwise]

So much of this bike looks like an MV Agusta to me but I can't find one with a cylinder head like that.

So it's Italian?
Early 60's?
About 160cc?

 

[Ksquared]

Benelli?

 

[Dschief]

Italian, yes. All other guesses are incorrect. The size is close though.
