It was available.
Transportation wasn’t a question.
Price was fair and affordable for you.
Not specials like CCM or HL just a good race bike.
For me I love a good Husky Auto 77 model.
-
Any auto Husky would do me. :)
-
Twinport CZ big or small,preferably both ;)
-
I'd have to say a YZ360B, most other bikes of interest are readily available although a CCM would be on the list.
-
EGLI VINCENT
OR NORVIN
i have enough dirt bikes to last me years
-
'74.5 maico 400cc gp
Ed
-
Any work's bike from the early 80's
The Vincent and there is somthing about late 70's early 80's Italian bikes that do it for me both dirt and road.
-
VB 250 Cappra.
-
Hmmmm. lets see.
1953 Indian Chief Roadmaster
or
1912 1000cc 4 Valve "Big Base" Indian Board track racer (100mph in 1912, although the Excelsior may have just beat Indian to it)
-
An XR21 or XR24 Suzuki road race bike would be nice :)
-
VB 250 Cappra.
me to ;D

It almost seems wrong and I don't want to look like I am bragging, but I don't really have any more bikes on my wish list :(. I had a bit of an addiction going there for a while, where I hunted down every bike that I desired (but couldn't afford) in my youth . Now, I just want to stop buying and get all the bikes that I have race ready and sell off the ones that I don't want to keep . This will take me well into my twilight years . Unless something like a twin carb Puch or a nice cheap KX250 A5 comes along, I will try to resist buying anything more . I must have similar taste to some of the posters on this thread though, because I already own a '77 Husky 390 AMX, '74 Maico MC440, VB250 Montesa Cappra and a number of other Husky Autos. Unusual that nobody has mentioned an '81 Maico MC490, as it generally seems to be regarded as the "Rolls Royce" of VMX.
On the subject of the '77 Husky 390 Auto, the Husky Club guide of frame and engine numbers lists the '77 model Auto as a 360 . But I have a Motocross Action magazine test from mid 1977 on a 390 AMX Automatic that says that it is officially a '77 model . Now that my '77 CR390 seems to no longer have 3rd gear, I was thinking of swapping the bottom end to an Auto, so I can bring it to CD8 to ride on the pre '78 track .

A 2 Valve Jawa Speedway bike with a Streety 4 Valve conversion.
Preferably one, as ridden by Crumpy Snr.
They really set the pace in 75, just before the legendary Weslake took over.
There's a photo on the forum somewhere of Ivan on one and he was a Jawa factory rider.
That'll tell you how good they were.
-
Well I'll be buggered :o. I had no sooner finished typing and hit the post button in this thread, before I noticed the thread on the twin carb Puch . I ran it past the Minister for War and Finance, but she seems to be taking a dim view of me trying to buy it. I'm betting now that a nice and cheap KX250A5 somehow crosses my path in the near future :D.
-
Twin pipe or side pipe CZ.
Ready to go VR250 or Phantom.
77 TM125.

I apologise Mick but some of us actually regard specials as good race bikes ;). Having said that, a nice 650 Triumph Cheney for the old stuff, Husky AE500 for the middle aged and an '84-86 CR500 Honda for pre 90. I'd like a Trackmaster 750 Trumpy flat tracker as well.
In reality I'm a bit like Husky500Evo in that I'm pretty happy with what I've got. I'm intending on spending the next couple of years assembling all of the stuff I've got stashed away and then work out what I want to keep. I finished my new/old 360 Yamaha Hindall flat tracker today and I enjoyed every minute of the build. I can't wait to start on the next one.

steve

I'd settle for time to ride a bike.............any bike :'(
-
A real KTM MX 420 81 or late 80 not converted enduro would be cool I think I could always find the funds if one came on the market at the right price, I'm not sure they bought any into Aus in pure MX trim thou.
-
Hey Mark, when will we see the 360 flat tracker at Nepean?
pancho
-
I'd be more than happy with an '81 Maico 490.
I'd much rather a four valve works replica CCM, but they've been banned from this discussion.. ;D
-

Reasonably soon Wal...I only really finished it today so after the Bonanza I'd like to take it to a practice day or two just to tool around on it. There'll be no racing until after the knee replacement and ankle fusion which are hopefully set down for June/July.
In the meantime we're converting my TM250 Suzuki into a flat tracker as a Klub Kevlar courtesy bike. With American style flat trackers now being included on speedway and Bankstown-Wylie Park club days in addition to Penrith vintage meetings, there's going to be plenty of rides for these things.
