Usually see this marque at Quail show in Carmel Valley.
I can just visualize what a 2014′ Maserati bike would be like!
On the lines of the new Made in USA Motus Motorcycle, I would guess.
What a great look!
There’s a nice Maserati 160, fully restored at the National Motorcycle Museum, Anamosa, Iowa. It placed second in the touring motorcycle class at Pebble Beach, 2011. The bike that won the class is also at the Museum, an Aermachhi Chimera 175. The Italians did some great bikes in the 1950’s and 1960’s and still do. Like their cars, many are lasting designs, stuff we still enjoy staring at today.
Hey gang,
Yes, this Maserati WAS captured at the Nat’l Motorcycle Museum in Anamosa, IA and I suggest you all try to see the amazing array of cycles on display. This machine was one of 12 I photographed for use on the Paul Oxman Publishing MOTORCYCLE CLASSICS 2015 calendar which goes on sale later this year.
Best!

Oh ya, and the “Egg-motor” Motobi was one of the best.
