Oh, that's a thing of beauty
Love the little details like the brake lever mounted directly on the rear axle, and the combi exhaust pipe/mudguard.

Only half throttle up to 80mph to avoid going arse over tit?

The engine (Minarelli/Morini) would sell for between £10 and £50 (though can make £150 if broken into parts).

I also have an old itajet in my shed.. I remember riding it when i was 5 (1994) and it was apparently 20 ish years old then. My dad brought it in a box of bits and built it up. Its in a pretty sorry state now though, but still runs.

Italjet JC5A
Italjet JC5B / JC5C / JC5D (although ebay gets more hits with jc50)
Indian MM5A (mini mini)

Heres some pics i found...

How do i find out what year it is etc? apparently it was originally white with a red and white stripe with blue type decal with a circle of little gold stars on the blue.

Don't know whether this helps identify it.

cheers

If you want to sell it i'll have it, that was my first ever bike when i was 3, don't know what happened to it though so wouldn't mind another.

EDIT: after a bit of research turns out mine was the M5D
