c´mon john you can write more than that!!

what I want to know is who was stupid enough to actually ride one of these on the road?

ok! chances are these usually end up:

1/ in a hedge
2/ in the back of car
3/ under a milk float
4/ in a garage

or usually....

5/as a proddy racing tool back in the mid eighties where there were probably more of these on the track than on the road

i never got to ride mine on the road because i was a big puff and didn´t fancy bending lamposts in half. It was far better to be sensible and ride it in proddy events at places like cadwell, mallory, snet and the like. What more fun could be had than taking a flask of tea and some sandwiches, going out in the novice 350 event and then dislocating your shoulder after being thrown at 90mph into the tyres at ´russells´?

Great fun!!!

Great bike for its time and made 4 stroke tackle look stupid. Trouble was some prat back Hamamatsu designed the suzuki rgv, kwack KR1S and the TZR250 - ruined everything they did!

Don´t pay over the odds for a wreck.

Anyone got one for sale?
