Agree with slackwell 100% that 78 kx 250 is the sexiest bang for your buck.... of cause some of the works bikes of the 70's are better, but i rarely get a chance to see them in the flesh let alone own one.

My non-VMX choice;

(http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s120/coljay/mv6-1.jpg)

And NO, it is not a HONDA, but the 350cc MV Augusta 6. Picture take at the 2003 Island Classic.

Not only does it look sexy, it sound like sex should, LOUD and raw. I deliberatly stood behind it when it was started up and would not have moved even if my ears started bleeding.

Seeing that non dirt bikes are being included I thought I'd post a couple of bikes from my other passion, cafe racers and street trackers. I'm building a long term Benelli street tracker (I work on it when I've got the shits with the VMX tackle) The inspiration for the bike is the below Trumpy tracker.

(http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-8/1062154/triumph-bonneville-4.jpg)
For engineering brilliance and for looking just plain gorgeous I can't go past Roland Sands KR V5 tracker which has a Kenny Roberts V5 Moto GP engine. It might not be very practical but when did that come into it?

The Cotton is one of the lightest frames of the era. I donated a Cotton frame to Yamaico a couple of weeks ago so we might eventually see it up here as one of his projects. The one above is a sweet bike.

yep Vandy, I love the '82's although they don't really like me cause I'm such a short arse :D Same with the RM125S..I love them too but the favour isn't returned on the track. I feel much more at home and can ride quicker on a TM/TS..especially if it has an RM125S engine fitted ;D

Doc the cylinder head is totally different to an RN, it looks like TM and the bottom of the fork legs are different, they look like machined down TM forks and what's with the barrel spacer? The lower fork legs are also longer than RN fork legs. The flat seam around the edge of the tank is different to RH/RN also.
 It looks to me like a very good copy of an RN possibly using RM370 wheels, triples etc and a hand made tank, not sure if it's an RN frame or a copy.
Have a look at the pics of Dave Tanners RN400 on vintageworksbikes.com for comparison.
