Latest accusition Aermacchi 250H

[50gary]

Latest C/L find got is for a paltry $370.00 It's mostly complete and looks to be a good base for a Cafe Racer, and we all know how much fun that can be!
I bought it for my brother because he lives in the frozen Northland of Michigan. We've been looking for a good starting point of this model and this may be it? We'll have to pull the engine down to be certain but it does roll over. 'Sorry for the small picture, I'm not so good at that.

cool little bikes. I have a tx 125 im restoring(very slowly)I cant wait to see more on this build

Thanks for the reply, I just threw this out there so see if anyone had built up a Aermacchi? I really like them and it's a simple bike. My last two build have gotten a bit out of hand so I'd like to keep this a little more low key. Planning stages right now and locating suppliers. I'm guessing the engine will need a total re-build so I'm preparing for that. A friend of mine had his crank rebuilt by Lancaster and he's very pleased with the results.

Thanks for the heads up nice parts and they have most everything. I really like the Drixton frame set. No prices on anything?

moto italia also has parts that are hard to find and reasonable prices

Thanks I've looked at the Moto Italia. The first item on the list is a Cafe style tank. We would like to keep it in the realm of the Aermacchi not simply a generic tank. Some are $800.00! The Tanks Shop in Scotland will do just about anything in Aluminum but again $$$.
