Ian did it come from Geelong/Victoria area as there is one still in the box apparently around here his father owned the Yamaha dealership and gave him one he never liked bikes so never uncrated it, have a small lead but working on it, if it is I'll give up asking.
-
oldfart is right its a 1973 Revel model in 1/12 scale . Iain
-
There is a real one in the Geelong area so legend has it.I'll keep hounding said person.
-
I remember that there was a yamaha DT2 mx for sale on ebay a few years back, his father bought the bike, and he did like it, I remember
talking with the owner about the bike when he was selling it at the time, you could say that the bike was nos, or close to it.
-
The Yamaha dealer in Geelong was Pratt & Osborne
-
Pratt and Ozborne were the suzuki dealer.Might've been Yamaha earlier than my time.I bought a brand new drz400 04 off them just before they shut shop, peter st#$%^s drove them out of town as well as buying out Gary Obrien Yamaha and killing Gary Adams Honda.
-
I am sorry to requote you, Pratt and osborne sold yamaha and Suzuki, Ducati, in the 60`s and 70`s., allen osborne race Yamaha in the early day
Gary Obrien took over the yamaha dealership in the mid to late 80`s .
-
Your right after talking to dad he bought a brand new Yamaha dt250 off Pratt & osbornes in the 70's and i remembers the day it was delivered.
-
Thank you, Benders sold Kawsaki in Moorabool st, Pratts where on the corner of Moorabool st and Myers St, Lyall O`brien was in Pakington St
Geelong West., Honda was being sold by Winter & Taylor in Mercer St. and later Loyld Martin took honda over and he was in Moorabool st and after that Gary Adam sold honda in Mercer st near Gary O`Brien Yamaha.
-

36M, Gary opened his first shop in 1981 (I started work for him the day he opened) and I think Pratt and Osbourne still retained Yamaha for a while after that. Gary Adams started in Moorabool st if I remember correctly.
By the way, what has this got to do with a new DT2MX in a box?
Stan.
-
Nothing stan, Its just headed in that direction, I spoke with a fellow who had a DT2mx nos a few years back, same story, I am not sure if its the same fellow
-
Could it be this one?

If I get some time (if-if-if), I'll pull them out of storage and photgraph them..
Any dirt bike kit you've ever seen or heard of, I've probably got at least one of...
The only one I know I haven't got is an old large scale Yamaha Dirt Track bike (twin cylinder thing) because I think it's ugly and have no interest in ever building it... although I'll probably end up getting one at some stage.. ::)
Check this out, it's from a guy I know in the US - we were helping each other locate oddball kits about 7 or 8 years ago.

Anybody recognize the bike under the Honda clothes?
-

It's an RM250Z with Honda plastics and upside down forks!!
-
Yep you got it IT,dont ya hate when they use one chassis & put different bodywork on,why bother :P
I have a couple of Honda CR250M Elsinore 73/74 models,not the kit type but,they were sold assembled,they are very accurate even having the pickle silencer :)
-
