FOR SALE
A funky UK Garelli Junior Tiger Cross MkI in fantastic condition.

MODEL HISTORY
In 1912, Italian engineer Adalberto Garelli designed his own two-stroke engine and achieved national and international success. Garelli sports mopeds were imported into Britain by Agrati Sales (UK) Ltd and the first models were the Rekord and Tiger Cross being one of the fastest at the time, reaching speeds of 60mph. The MkII was introduced in 1975 and prominent differences from the MkI included thinner tank side decals, black engine casings, ‘fantail’ engine cooling fins, thinner grips to replace the melon type, slightly altered seat and rear shock absorbers. Pogo front forks from the later MkI’s were carried over to the MkII. Of all the bike manufacturers that formed 1970’s Sports Moped phenomenon, the Garelli’s were up on the podium alongside the Yamaha ‘Fizzy’ FS1-E’s as the archetypal ‘Sixteener Specials’.

EQUIPMENT
Stainless steel Inox front and rear mudguards, Ceriani front forks, Domino brake and clutch levers, toolbox cubby, anti-slip vinyl seat with pillion strap, CEV Tipo 105 headlamp with guard, cold start plunger, rear CEV tail-light with reflector, pedal reflectors, CEV electromagnetic horn, engine cut-out button, fuel valve, Huret speedometer, steering lock.

EXTERIOR
Finished to a wonderful standard, the light and sturdy double cradle tubular steel frame has been powder coated and the frame VIN stamping remains clearly legible. The distinctive yellow and gloss black Garelli fuel tank displays correct wide Garelli band covering the full lower tank as well the Tiger and Quality Award Italy 1972 stickers. The only imperfection to the tank is a tiny virtually undetectable bleb to the lower nearside edge. Bright chrome work and stainless steel make this iconic sports moped show worthy. Restored with careful attention to detail including correct silver colour to the chain guard, toolkit cubby, lever mounts and black headlamp bowl, correct for a Mk1. Further Mk1 accuracy is seen with the brilliant handlebar ‘melon’ grips and original factory fitted seat. A nostalgic ‘Sixteener Special’.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The Garelli two-stroke 49cc air cooled engine is quoted producing 6.5bhp and capable of speeds on the flat of 60mph making it one of the most powerful and fastest sports mopeds of its time. All components are fully detailed and the Dell’Orto carburettor with cold start plunger remains fitted. The pre ‘fantail’ engine cooling fins denote a MkI the polished aluminium engine casings look superb with the engine number clearly visible. The bike employs a four-speed foot change transmission by chain drive.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
Factory spoked wheels display a mirror chrome finish as do the wheel hubs. 2.50-19 front and 2.50 -17 rear knobbly tyres are fitted. Drum brakes front and rear require a firm squeeze and stamp to provide satisfactory braking!

Pioneer snowmobile maker, Bombardier of Quebec, Canada launched a series of mini-bikes and trailbikes as a first step into off road motorcycles to complement their huge Ski Doo market as a summer recreational product.
