Bet you've never heard of this one! The company which is now
Italjet used a number of other people's engines in their earlier bikes. One of these was the 1969
Sport Junior 125, which used an MZ engine:
This is the only bike I've heard of that used an MZ engine, (other than MZs of course).
Italjet built a number of bikes using British engines, including the 500 Velocette and 750 Royal Enfield powered
Indians.
They also built a couple of models using Triumph engines:
Nowadays they built quads and scooters, but a few years ago they showed a prototype
Amarcord 125, which unfortunately didn't reach production.
Groovy!
Found a picture of an Italjet Triumph. What a great looking bike! From an
article (in French) with pictures of Italjets (and Italjet built
Indians) with British engines.
