This black-and-white photograph shows a classic motorbike, a racing model from the '70s or '80s. The motorbike is parked in a garage or studio, given the dark, plain background.
The motorbike is a Malanca 125, which can be seen by the brand name 'MALANCA' on the tank and the indication '125' on both the tank and side panels. The vehicle has a sporty and sleek design with a slim, white frame and black details.
Notable features include:
Engine: The air-cooled, single-cylinder two-stroke engine is prominently featured. The cylinder fins and exhaust manifold are clearly visible.
Wheels: The bike is fitted with magnesium or aluminium rims with a distinctive hole pattern. The rear wheel has a disc brake, which was quite modern for a 125cc bike at the time.
Exhaust: There is a chromed muffler that runs parallel to the underside of the bike.
Saddle: The saddle is a typical sports saddle of the period, black in colour with a white trim and the indication '125' in an ornate font.
The overall condition of the bike seems very good, indicating that it is either a well-maintained classic or a restored one. The picture has high contrast and a nostalgic feel due to the use of black and white.
