This bike's been for sale on either Marks Swapmeet, eBay and vft.org for well over two years and even though it's dirt cheap and pretty damn rare, it still hasn't sold. What's wrong with this picture?
The bike appears to be based off a Hercules enduro from the mid 70's and doesn't appear to have had the steering geometry changed to a more dirt track friendly rake, the frame appears to be a stripped down stocker. Sachs 250 engines aren't seen very often and aren't considered all that great. The bike's indeed cheap but it's not competitive for dirt track and there's a lot of restoration to get it back to the below condition. This sad bike is unfortunately stuck between a rock and a hard place.
