So what's he saying Harry?

"This-a 750 Yamaha(?) make-a wonderful noise, but she smokes and-a pops like-a hell..."

Music from "The Godfather" fades into the background.


PS - if it's not Italian I'll have to delete this reply out of shame!

Well it goes (at the end) more or less like that:
"so, how's the test ride?"
"well, it's little pumping at the rear wheel"
"and how does it compare to your Vespa?"
"No comparison!"

All those european languages are a pain in the.... tongue. I know, worked on a european cruise lines, where everybody spoke his own lingo, yet everybody wants to be understood and have a good service!

I remember seeing another Vespa with a SOHC CB550 Four engine, not to mention a SOHC CB750 Four motocrosser. Us Americans are not that far behind.
