I understand that this example is a rep[ica,.. True, or is it an original ex works machine ?

What a fantastic engineering achievement, 1957, a V8 500cc motorcycle, long before the Japanese multi-cylinder engines were thought of, although the Japanese have since made up for lost time, but it was the Italians that kicked things off
