Can anyone tell me if this is a Austral-motorcycle? As you see, engine
is LMP-
probably 250cc. Gearbox is Staub, carburator is JG (Gurtner?), magneto MEA and generator Novi. And frame is
near Austral frame?
It seems that frame is a little bit modernized? Should bike to be a "flat
tank"-model?
Tank is perhaps too modern for this bike?
All information is useful for me because we don't have many French bikes here in north..
