I have no idea of model but welcome and congratulations on your decision. If you get infected with the hack virus after riding awhile it will be the most aggressive and satisfying addiction you could come down with 😁

Agreed. Dnepr MT16 And it looks pretty correct for a Neval retailed model from 1987

note the Veglia tachometer mounted in the instrument cluster. That is normal on a Neval supplied MT16 and you won't find them on any other machines from a different supplier. Nor will you find it shown on any wiring diagram.

Mine was a Deluxe NEVAL import & had CAST ALLOY WHEELS with AVON SIDECAR DUTY TIRES on all 4 Wheels. Mine ran a 12 volt battery transformed down to a 6 volt coil - to the spark plugs. It was great. I had to sell it & miss it alot. Sold it through BLUE MOON in Norcross GA.
ITS OUT THERE IN THE WIND SOMEWHERE - Love to know where - to say hello etc.
