The vendor advises us that this machine is a Rieju factory prototype, although there is no documentary evidence to support this. Accordingly, prospective bidders must satisfy themselves as to the authenticity of this machine prior to bidding.
Whether this machine is a prototype of some description, or a home-made special, it certainly has an air of a work in progress. The engine is a Gilera air-cooled two-stroke unit; the front suspension is an unusual trailing link system and the rear suspension has twin shock absorbers. It has drum brakes front and rear, with alloy wheel rims, and is fitted with lights. The petrol tank is steel, and mudguards are lightweight plastic items. There are no documents, and it will require re-commissioning prior to further use. Whilst the engine turns, its mechanical condition is unknown, and it is sold strictly as viewed.
