Title: IT490
Post by: pmcburney on March 14, 2011, 06:02:07 pm

The only modern (ish) bike in the shed at the moment is my '01 DR650SE.


Now, whilst it's a good thing, it doesn't really fit in with the other stuff I have which is all at least thirty years-old.

I feel the pull of a big, classic two-stoke thing with which I may trail ride and do a bit of adventure stuff on (yes I know the DR will do it better, but I do so little of it these days that I'm willing to wear a bit of discomfort for the few times I go out).

If anyone has a lead on an original IT490 (any year), I'd be most interested.

It doesn't have to be immaculate, just all there (all lights/indicators/electrical gear, if possible original plastics, tool bag and everything else pretty much original so as to enable registration).


Thanks
Paul

Don't forget the 465 witch was a better motor

Happy to consider the 465 as well.


Might it be more difficult to find a nice 465 given they're a bit older?

A IT490 with a 465 YZ barrel and piston fitted and cut 50mm from the header pipe would be my hot tip.  ;)
