The front sure reminded me of a Costella racer -- but now I see that 
the guy sitting by the rear is on the monkey seat, not just a shiny 
chair.  So how fast?

This makes at least three 50 cc bikes racing at present, right? -- one 
sidecar, two two-wheelers.  Who'd of thunk that the tiny engine classes 
would get busy?
