Gilera 124 I paid $200 for it used. Jeez I think I paid that much for a shifter linkage for my Harley. Wish I still had it. There are collector clubs dedicated to this bike.

The photo is from the Internet - not my bike.

My first bike was a 1962 Honda 50 - the street bike style. I think maybe it was a CB model? They sold them at the hardware store for $295.
