Title: Calling history buffs and anyone with an old magazine stash
Post by: Lozza on January 04, 2008, 10:40:54 pm

Need a big favour from anyone who can help. I am trying to prove a pre-production water cooled full floater RM 125 raced here in Australia(or anywhwere else for that matter). Would need magazine articles from around Sept-Dec 1980. Top secret hush hush project of course ;D I googled this up

you are trying to open a can of worms here.the problem you will face is the preproduction theory.my older brother tried this with tt500 yamahas as there were a few in the USA pre 1975,ma would not approve as they were preproduction.i can prove preproduction racing of 4 valve weslakes in 1974.the 2 valve dirt track and longtrack eligibility would have to be re written.try as this would open up other bikes for pre date racing
