2 wheels
I purchased it in Dec 2017, Its based in Cyprus and is my holiday bike as i spend a lot of time there. It took me a few months to gather parts and restore it so just a few little mods or finishing touches are left really
here is a picture of it from the advert when i bought it

she ran ok after a carb clean and a fresh tank of fuel but wouldn't go over 40kph and took an age to change gear with the auto box

i parked the bike up and set about collecting parts to complete the early look and buy as many new original bits and pieces such as badges, foot pedal rubbers etc as i could get my hands on
excuse the pink wheel and the slightly high front mudguard

i filled the tank with 2.70 euros
problem is you can't leave them anywhere they get stolen. There are more with no chassis number than there are with..
Also everybody hates original ones there and they modify the hell out of them so having one that looks oem is very rare

Ha ha I did have an off outside O’Neills bar, wasn’t going fast, the lads called me Superman.. I kinda went through the air, rolled my landing, stood up & got back on the bike.. people were just stood there looking at me! Lol couldn’t believe it.. another 100 yds or so I was back in our apartments - CastaliaG60RGE said

I had a GarellI Katia in blue, it cost my dad £30
Had 3 levers, 2 brakes and one clutch. Stick it on the centre stand, pedal your heart out and pull the clutch in.
Was tiny but weighed a tonne. I fell off every time I rode it and one of the 3 levers had an argument with my ribs so my dad sold it.
Fortunately he replaced it with a 1978 Yamaha DT100 for £80 so at the age of 8 I was ridding a fully geared 100cc, I crashed that even more often lol

i had a nightmare sourcing the right piston as the kit i got was for and early 6v engine and i had clearance issues but managed to find one from a bike mechanic who was a chaly fanatic nicosia in the end. see the difference
hopefully that should get it going over 30mph
