Title: Pursang MK15 numbers
Post by: TooFastTim on January 04, 2013, 08:46:31 pm
At last we know.

"There is three 250cc, one 125cc and one 420cc, in total 5 Pursang MK15"

From: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=3539887316428&set=p.3539887316428&type=1&theater (https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=3539887316428&set=p.3539887316428&type=1&theater)

And who might be giving the MK15 a good look over?

You're telling porkies there David. They aren't Mk15's (Mk 15's had a RHS kickstart)

I really don`t know (too fast tim), they look like mk15 to me, I think the owner of these bikes is one of my friends on facebook.

Dave, they're MK11's or Mk12's dressed up to look like Mk15s

An interesting modification on that bike. The front wheel & brake appear to be off a Montesa VG414 with the assemetric brake. Not a bad brake and works well but the wheel is a little heavy.

I have been corresponding with the owner/builder of this bike for a couple of years and we recently received the photos, with the text to come.  It will be in VMX Magazine in the next issue or two.

Great article there Ken. I thought that it was an interesting and great looking special until I saw the right hand side. Then I was blown away.

To resurrect a dead thread.

Yrjo's just returned from a visit to Spain where he quizzed Oriel on the MK 15 production numbers. The figures I quoted at the start of this thread are correct (give or take 1 or 2).
