Title: Jared's Top Ten Monties - Part 1.
Post by: mx250 on January 29, 2008, 05:26:43 pm

You may have seen 414's Top Ten and Jared's assessment in reply.

You may have been like me, wondering what they looked like and why the fuss. So here ya go....

1/ Cappra 250 (33M)  very rare, very collectable $4G plus for just a roller.(http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l187/mx250a/motorbike200082.jpg)

2/ Cappra 360 GP (46M)  Spaniards are snapping these up big time!

3/ Cappra 250GP  (53M) four speed orange tank model

4/ Cappra 250 VR (73M) the early model, straight fin motor, different tank etc.

I think this is the one or something very similar. I think this is a 'works' bike with 'works' mechanics fettling. Jared might correct me. A proddie version would have looked similar but I think had the red tank (just to please Firko ;D ;))

5/ Cappra 360 VA (66M) early version, with crank mounted clutch.

Yeah, but it's still dissembled at the mo. I'm just trying to 'clear the decks' of a few home reno's, some wife health issues and some other projects to get time and space to finish off.  It's fairly close with a lot of the peripheral issues (suspension, frame etc) done.

I'm dallying somewhat at the mo ::); I'm choosing between powder coating the cases before assemble or rattle can (and then maybe coming back and redoing the case properly in the future). If I powdercoat I was thinking of getting a home powdercoating arrangement set up - inquiring at the mo.

Too many projects, too little time :P.
