My first Italian bike was a 3 1/2 Sport with the original double sided front drum. It was good early practice for the Monster grin.
I would say that a Commando wouldn't hold a candle to a Morini!
They cover ground quicker than most bikes without even trying. I used to ride it out with a Moto Guzzi Le Mans and there was very little between the two bikes except weight, and you don't bang your knee on the pot when braking on the Morini.
After changing the failed Ducati Electrotecnica ignition parts I got 110 out of it.. Do Commandos do that?
Richard, if you end up changing the ignition, you might find that it won't work the tacho properly. I have a "dongle" that connects inline to the tacho and makes it work again.
Yours if you need it... It's something to do with one system having a wasted spark and the other not?
