Hi, just seen this for sale, quite a quirky bike, (and in the theme of the site hopefully) thought I'd grab a few pics, much better looking than the Gilera CCX

Always liked those, not quite sure why.
Bodywork is based on a Cagiva Freccia, which has the added benefit of a 2-stroke motor :

Loved the look of the Dart when they came out
Pity they were fitted with such a feeble, ancient motor.
At the time, the biking press didn't give its handling too good a write up either ![Sad](images/smiles/icon_sad.gif) _________________ www.taffmoto.co.uk for your replacement fairing panels |

Hi Paul,
Yep its diff'rent all right and definitely worthy of a pic on here!
I saw it on EvilBay too and although I have a strange soft spot for the Gilera CX (yeah, between my ears!... thought I'd say it before someone else does!!) I afraid the Dart does nowt for me..... but hey, thank God we don't all like the same stuff eh?!
Here's a pic of something Italian, plastic and nicer..... IMO

i remember when these bikes came out, they were a quirky alternative but nobody bought them, they now look like the love children of a motorcycle and a sinclair c5! _________________ just do it |
