It looks a decent bike but it's in "no mans land" as far as a competition bike goes. It has to go in pre '90 in MX where most will want a 1989 model to ride. Can't be ridden in Vinduro's in Victoria as the cut off is pre'85 & most of the vinduro clubs interstate while being pre'90 friendly don't allow USD forks or rear disc brakes. I think that's why it hasn't sold.

This is one of Rob Awcock's bikes, it's been advertised on FB for a while now, and I agree with Mick, it is in limbo as a model until some sensible (read national) rules come into existence.

I think people get a bit too caught up in competitive bikes,Id be happy to ride this in pre 95,I guess if you were an elite rider it maybe a disadvantage.I didnt know about the USDs or rear disk rules,they seems a bit silly and the vinduro cut off too.Id love this machine.
