Title: 1981 PW50
Post by: 4stroker on May 16, 2013, 05:01:00 pm: I would really like to get my hands on a 1981 PW50, the first model, yellow in colour, any condition.

I would also be interested in original parts to suit, especially stuff like tanks and guards etc.

Please get in touch if you have one or know of one.

I am in Townsville, NQ, but willing to pay freight on the right bike/parts.

Thanks, Mark

There are definitely a few around, a bloke has PM'd me pics of one he is restoring, and there is a guy on Gumtree with a 1982 model that he is chasing parts for. They were yellow for the first 3 years, 1981, 1982 and 1983. The decals on the tank changes slightly year to year.

Wether they were released here or not is a different question, does anyone actually know the answer?

The 1983 PW80's (first year of the 80) were yellow too, but I haven't seen one in Australia...

Maybe we didnt get PW's here until 1984? If that's the case, I'll just import one, they seem to be plentiful in the US. Actually, that's probably the easiest option in any case...
