These were the same years when Harley's Sportster-based flat-track bikes, developed by Dick O'Brian, were beating everybody including Kenny Robert's Yamaha. I'll see if I can find a link.
IIRC, some of the Aermachi people started Cagiva . . .

That's what I was thinking of, and why I said it was a bit out of my league.
I didn't think it was water-cooled though.
