feetupfun Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Both are hard to get some parts for so make sure they are complete The Aprilia is rare and may be seen as desirable by a collector Italjets are not rare but are not commonly seen in competition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pschrauber Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 (edited) For the Aprillia if Rotax powered getting parts is far easier. To the Italjet parts for anything are very difficult to get even in Italy. The MK I of the Italjet (completely green) is heavy, the later MK II (white and green) "PIUMA" (feather = piuma in Italian) is much lighter), around 95 instead of 100kg! In the beginning to mid 80's I had two Piuma models. The bike is in many aspects a Bultaco clone. I personal - if I were you - would take the Aprillia when Rotax powered. To the very early Aprillia with Hiro engines ... well here it depends how good parts are to trace in the UK. The very early Aprillias - what I have been told - were not so easy to come along with depending frame layout. Which Aprillia or Italjet are you referring to?
