Brothers Francesco and Walter Villa began building their own machines in the mid-1960s. Walter raced Villa bikes before his rise to stardom and three consecutive 250-class World Championships for Harley-Davidson between 1974 and '76, to which he added one in the 350 class. Manufactured up to 1988, the firm's lightweight roadsters used proprietary engines, while its successful moto-cross and enduro models used motors of Villa's own design. This very rare 350cc Villa twin-shock moto-crosser was restored a few years ago to an exemplary standard. The aluminium alloy fuel tank (normally plastic) is particularly worthy of note. Last run in June 2019, the machine is described by the vendor as in excellent condition throughout. There are no documents with this Lot.
