A duplex brake like this is really a wonderful sight.
Identify the motorbike and share with us the production period.

Not exclusively and not primarily. Maybe a few were delivered there...

Yes, it is a Italjet Grifon. But not a 500 ccm-version and not from 1965.

Sorry 'thorax', but 'richard fridd' was faster and he is right. Richard this is your next point.

As far as I know, the first series was built in 1967. The second series with new brake (see puzzle-bike) was homologated in 1968, but probably only went on sale in 1969. Do you have more detailed information?

from the official Italjet website:
"Ma la mente di Tartarini è instancabile e sempre in movimento cosicché l’anno successivo, il 1968, vede la luce il primo ciclomotore pieghevole della Italjet: il Kit-Kat. nello stesso anno entra in produzione la maximoto denominata Grifon, spinta da un motore Triumph 650, lo stesso del mitico Bonneville...."

"But Tartarini's mind is tireless and always on the move so that the following year, 1968, the first folding moped by Italjet was born: the Kit-Kat. in the same year the Grifon superbike goes into production, powered by a Triumph 650 engine, the same as the legendary Bonneville..."

Comprehensive reply from thorax, but I thought the 'production period' was required, not the single initial year.

I am not happy with a motorbike puzzle in Autopuzzles. Maybe a new platform Motopuzzles could be a solution ?
