He's got no proof and it's not a factory bike. It's merely a rough as shit RH75 with many of its important bits missing.

My thought's exactly Mark.
I think his/her listing is just a wind up.

It if doesn't have one of these, it's NOT an RH.

For right hand gear change for the euro riders who were used to that setup.

Post by: AjayVMX on January 02, 2013, 10:07:39 pm
The extra shaft is RHS shifting, for European riders, presumably.  Only on an RH and a distinctive feature of the breed.

I have been corresponding with the seller... he's full of it.  ::)

I sincerely hope that bidder retracts or maybe I need to list my RH soon...  ;D

I think the fact that Arizona Mike is the only bloke sticking up for the seller puts it all in a nutshell.

Late '74, layed down shocks, ali arm, billet leading axle forks, etc, etc. Genuine works bike.
By early '75, the works bikes had up pipes and were pre runners for the RM series.
This eBay seller is kidding himself.

We've already confirmed its a 75 production RH with 76 RM front end and tank. The US didn't get the production RH's like the rest of the world did.

It's a limited production RH250 the same as mine but with an RM front end and tank. Look at the engine, piston port not case reed= RH.
He is talking it up to be a lot more than it is though

Auction over, did not meet the reserve.  He should have set the reserve at $25,001.00  ;D

He should have taken the $25,000 and run! I read through the comments and the guy is a genuine tosser..
He was denying that it had the wrong forks and tank and talking the bike up to be something very special. He's either a massive liar or an extreme fool!

Not sure if this has been put up before but found this test on the RH in Australian Motorcycle Action from Aug 1975 and thought it may be of some interest..... (Hopefully it will be readable)
