Malaguti Drakon 50

i have had my Malaguti Drakon 50 for almost a week now and i love it to bits. it is a flashy bike, mean looking in matt black finish with lots of professional stickers etc on it.

I recently bought this bike in Matt black for £600 with many problems that were to advanced for the previous owner to handle, I have all of them sussed out now and can only say, it is a pleasure riding the bike, I love it. Great for commuting or just pleasure riding once in a while. I have found that getting Malaguti parts is nion impossible in the part of the UK I live. However I am managing to find various performance enhancing parts via the internet. This is an Italian bike and therefore I struggled to get a workshop manual. However I have a Italian .pdf which tells you nearly everything you need to know about the bike. Also I have many exploded diagrams for the engine which is from the ever popular Aprilia RS50. The engine is a Minarelli AM6 engine. The fuel tank is very big for a bike of this engine size. I can get many miles from one tank, others who I know have bikes with 3 or 4 litre tanks, this bike is 10L, which is very handy. The bike is quite heavy for a 50cc too, with 130 rear tyre can always be handed off as a 125 or 250. Overall I love the bike, all the blood sweat and tears that have gone in to researching the bike, and fixing her up, she runs like a dream. You either love it or hate it. Brilliant little project bikes don't just disregard the 50cc category.
