I had the identical bike about 30 years ago. My first monoshocker. Nice bike.deviant said:
I remember all the clowns & punks trying to climb the flood dam, falling on thier butts and trashing their bikes. It was a good 45 degree angle, about 80' to the top. I was doing it with one hand, floating the front wheel. Effortless.
I technically "bought it for my wyfe", because I ALREADY HAD a dirt bike (Bultaco 250 Pursang)
Awesome. Great story, Paul. I'm pretty excited for this one.grandpaul said:

No doubt. There is not a huge aftermarket for performance stuff on these motors.

Then I see this! Thanks for the link.
That thing looks like a giant turd. Glad it's not in my garage.... bummer E didn't have a helicoil or we could have been ripping it at meltdown hahadeviant said:Finally made the swap with hurco-
1979 XT250. The suspension on this bike is cool as hell. Comes with a stripped spark plug hole, dented tank and a few hundred miles on the clock. I'm really hoping this will be easy to get on the road...

Nice! I've got a KZ750G that I just got running again to be my daily driver. Doing a build thread or similar to show what you do to it? Would be pretty cool to see some love for these large twin Kawi lumps.

As per usual, less a "purchase" and more a trade...
Good old RD350 from BradJ in exchange for a pile of Suzuki smoker I recently acquired from a buddy at work.
The RD needs a LOT of work but now that the Mrs and I bought a house with a huuuge garage, meaning I actually have my own workspace and all my tools together in one spot, it should go pretty smoothly.
End game is a "period" 70s street racer. Mostly stock appearance, little bit of go fast, lots of blue smoke.
