That's fantastic! Much nicer to look at than a term deposit. Of course it is collectable.

I remember the Sydney supercross in 1999? when a pre release YZ400F came out for a few demo laps, ridden by, I think Danny Ham. The sound of that thing how it just revved amazed everyone at the time.

I have a wr400 first model, never had the rocker cover of it, swapped a postie for it.  ;D ;)

Its a great practice rig for DT, but I get flogged in the 450 class, on the up side its a lot of fun trying to catch and kill!

I was there, didn't someone else do the yzf and Danny Ham was on a drz 400 trying to convince us that it was a mx bike, the this kept casing every jump he attempted on it, after two laps he parked it..

You're right, it wasn't Danny Ham on the YZF.
