zisko62 Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 hello there, this is mine one! at the time I'm restoring the bike, took the shots to show you how it was on original condition, although the bike is not finished at the time. the bike was called Scott 350. there were two issues, one with a large seat and the other with a small one. basically identical bikes but there were a few with gold rims and white hubs, while other had silver rims and black hubs. cheers from Italy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stefano Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Hello, I too own a Scott, it is a rare bike nowadays, it seems that only 100 were made. The engine is an Italjet two stroke (former ducati 125 two strokes, ducati sold moulds to italjet at the end of '70) to which were added pushrods, valves and the necessary stuffs. The bike is heavy and it is more a trail bike rather then a trials bike, in particular the frame is too tall, and the bike doesn't handle well, for example an honda TL250 (that I own too and made several trials with her) is better. Italjet however prepared a special racing four strokes trails bike that was in the italian championship with a good pilot, Lino della Rodolfa, that unfortunately dramatically died some years ago in a road accident. This bike, that was tested by the press, had a two stroke frame, very close to the bultaco sherpa's as you will surely know; the engine, even if larger, fits in and the bike should have been much better (but I didn't tested nor even saw her). Thinking to this now disapperead bike I started a project of replica of this bike, the problem being however the engine:but italjet (besides some variation on the scott theme like the ascot, a even more trail bike but very close to the scott) made also an enduro with this engine, it was basically the two stroke enduro (there was recently one for sale on ebay.uk) with the four stroke engine.

mattsccm Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Just to drag this one out of the depths and blow the dust off. Has anyone come across engine spares of any sort? I am so tempted to buy one but the thought of a blown head puts me off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ask greeves Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Stephano is correct, Ducati did sell the rights of thier 125 to Italjet, this was originally the basis to the Italjet two stroke Trials 250/350 engine. OK Italjet may had an associaton with Berni S, but thats as far as it goes, nothing about an Italjet is Bultaco. It's like saying a Zak-of-kaki is the same as a Honda, just cos Freddy Spencer rode both marques. The question is, did Ducati originally design the 125 two stroke as a fourstroke or visa versa as used in four stroke guise in the Italjet Scott. I love Italjets...got a 350 greeny, 250 feather, and a Scott. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattylad Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Schreibers Italjet had a bultaco cylinder, exhaust and frame swing arm to start with. See story in the excellent Italian Twinshock book by Mauri and Fonsenco. Interesting read Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natediggity Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 Hey Everyone. New to the site and to trials in general. I just acquired a 1983 Italjet T350. It seems some fo you are talking about two different italjets. the red one which is also known as a 'scott' and then the green one with the white tank. that's the one I have. It runs and could use new fenders/flaps and a headlight, but overall in decent shape. any other owners on here?? Nate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laird387 Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 Anyone ever seen the italjet 350 fourstroke? very very rare has anyone got any pics of one around. There was one at our local trial on sunday it bloddy lucky to see one still in action. I was the only person to have said anything about it to him, everyone else thought nothing of it maybe they thought it was homemade.. I had an Italjet Scott 350 that I bought from Tony Davies who tried it after BSA opted out of the trials market and he lost his works ride - it was a 350cc fourstroke and I don't remember where Tony got it from, but it had hardly any mileage. I was used to Ariel HTs and Ajay trials models, and thought the Italjet might let me carry on riding ordinary trials, but without losing my favourite fourstroke performance. I was wrong, it was a fourstroke but had none of the usual power characteristics, so I happily sold it to a car racer in Hampshire - a friend of Jackie Stewart's - and I concentrated on building up the Pre-65 scene by creating the British Bike Championship, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
