Fantic Caballero TX190 | A ride along the Moray Coast in Scotland.

[@sicks6six]

back in the day I was playing a Suzuki TS and a kid turned up on one of these we swapped rides for half an hour, and I was sold, couldn't believe how light and nimble it was and also how punchy the engine was, it would climb anything, a real fun bike off-road, nothing too technical just pit heaps and rough trail riding but the Fantic excelled and did everything with ease, it was the first time I smelled strawberry Rock Oil as well, quite a day a Fantic that smelled of flowers unlike my Suzuki that smelled of mineral oil,

Great story! Have you seen the test ride of the Caballero TX160 Mik26? kzbin.info/www/bejne/havEg2CGe9GLf9ksi=vtFu4trWG7PPHksf&t=95

Fabulous ride & no seizures either! Wish I had one.

Nicasil lined cylinder, I've not managed to seize one.......yet! The 'big wheel' TX160/190 Caballeros are great if you are tall, easy to forget you are riding a 50cc.

@@fanticman how much does it runs? my aspes 1976 with 19 carbs was running about 80 km/h but I was 15 old and 17 kgs less

[@fanticman]

@@alex-rx2vu with a 48 tooth rear sprocket it would do 90km/h but was much better to ride with a 50 tooth rear sprocket. That gave much more lively performance and a GPS top speed of about 85km/h.

@@fanticman whoww that s a lot, how big is your carb?

[@fanticman]

@@alex-rx2vu It is tuned a bit from standard with a Zeta cylinder, Dellorto PHBL 22mm carb and a Caballero Competizione TX160 Mik26 exhaust.
