An old Montessa?

bill440cars · « **Reply #3 on:** May 05, 2007, 12:51:04 PM »

Nope, sorry, guess again. If it helps, it's a 4 stroke.

Cool looking dirt bike but no clue on make........kinda strange looking engine......case,cylinder. I give!!!!!.....what it is?

nickjtc · « **Reply #9 on:** May 05, 2007, 01:08:25 PM »

I started thinking JAWA or CZ, then it occured to me that they were 2-strokers.

Definately European....

I'm going to go with one of the Italian marques.

Nick is on the right track.

It is Italian and in no way related to H-D! Also Nick, there was a 500cc OHC Jawa back in the 50's that so folks hadn't heard about and ESO (that was a part of the Jawa/CZ bunch) was a 4 stroke too. Just some extra info thrown in there about Jawa/CZ

nickjtc · « **Reply #15 on:** May 05, 2007, 01:54:58 PM »

Its a Moto Parilla 175. That's my final answer!

Engine looks the same as this one:

nickjtc · « **Reply #17 on:** May 05, 2007, 02:04:19 PM »

And after a bit of research it looks just like this one:

MrZxp · « **Reply #18 on:** May 05, 2007, 02:11:08 PM »

That's it Nick - the text accompanying it makes mention of a "250 Wildcat MX".

Cheers, Phil

bill440cars · « **Reply #19 on:** May 05, 2007, 02:40:22 PM »

Way to go there Nick! It is a Parilla but, a 250 factory Scrambler. Check out. This one and some other Parillas are on sale on ebay. Later on, Bill

Hey Mick,

inside that case, is a set of gears and the top one is actually the camshaft. That places the cam on the side of the cylinder.

Not a Duc. No bevel on the right head.

No real guesses on what kind of bike it is.

I only work a few nights each week and I'm not on line at home as I can't afford a telephone
