I did ask "over there", but having never been one to hang out with dem Modern Kids, I think it would be best to ask you raggedy bunck o ol' Skoolers.

I was excited as after waiting about 18 months it was finally being shipped/delivered (Sydney to Melbourne, Australia)... sight unseen.
It was all good till it arrived, on a flat-bed ute, without wheel stand/chock, 2 ratchet straps and on its CENTRE STAND!
I noticed that the whole front end was damaged, and guard missing, so asked driver & he said it was like that when he got it... well, it wasn't!
He is still denying that anything happened, but at least i now have photos of before .
I've stripped it to find the extent of the damage, and now I need most of the panels, front guard, brake lever, mirror... plus hoses are perished & radiator is toast.
Does anyone here have PARTS & are willing to help me with shipping to Australia (or possibly New York)?
I will work out over the weekend what is exactly needed.

Well from what ive seen in the UK, these Italjet scoots go for silly money so i would assume the parts would be the same. They werent available very long in the UK, rarely saw them, soon surpassed by the italjet dragster 180 of which i bought one. Even these are scarcely seen on the roads and parts are very difficult to get hold of. Not wanting to burst your bubble but id get the thing sent back, get your money back as this is going to be a money pit IMO.

He inherited it. He can now give it away without much ado. People either bequeath "wealth" to others because they want to pass on something of great value to people they love or value, or pass on a curse to an unsuspecting heir.

The italjet formula 125 was a formidable beast, even standard you could reach near 70mph, twin cylinder, 62cc a pot. The dragster 180 would top out at 80mph, same engine put into the Gilera Runner, then they sucked all the fun out of them by making them four stroke.
