Anybody have any idea what the bike is? Sort of looks like it might be a sideways V-twin, ala Moto Guzzi. I still think she may have been riding a Honda Dream in the other episode; it should run again in a month or so, and I'll try to look more closely...
That is a 250cc Marusho lilac. They made those 90° V twin engine, slightly before MotoGuzzi did. Not very many are imported to the US, I hear.
