Using a simple overhead camshaft driven by a cascade of sprockets since the '30s, the Pesaro-based brand introduced the Leoncino (Italian for "little lion") in 1956.
The flowing egg-shaped engine is raised at 45° and extends into a polished aluminum housing covering the shaft.
With its 6hp for 90 km/h, BV4, the production cost was far too high compared with the competition.
The bike appears to be in its original paintwork.
The last overhaul was some twenty years ago, so a restart and technical inspection are in order.
