Here it is -

Has a couple of unusual features, the tank is the rear part of the frame under the seat -
And take a look at the shocks -

Engine looks like new, apart from the battered plastics (which are paper thin) it looks to have had little use -

The only tag i'v found on it so far -

Warning sticker next to the fuel cap at the rear of the seat -

The guy i got it from said his dad found a Malaguti dealer who might be able to source parts, but as yet i'v found no other info on it on the NET anywhere ?? Err ........... other than refrences to brake shoes and spark plugs ?? I'd like to find a front fender ;)

[Dirtcrasher]

IDK if I missed it, but how old is this??

BTW, I LOVE it, I think it's a great little trike! :beer

[blue27]

WOW!, I have never seen anything like it. Keep us updated on it and what you find out.

[factoryX]

2 stroke powered?

[MonroeMike]

Wow, even has a kicker.

Interesting machine you picked up.

[tecat-z]

Very cool, and i great shape too!

[86trizinger]

Very cool purchase !!

The engine looks very close to the Franco Morini 50cc engines.. I wonder if one of the pipes from an LEM or KTM 50 will fit..

Here's a few pics for comparison to the Honda and Yamaha -

The Malaguti is small by comparison, and the build quality and design makes this bike more like a toy than a propper off road motorcycle.
