To me the SC is not a race bike and it is not a particularly attractive collectible, but as an 'oddity' they seem to pull good money - why I've got no idea. I can't remember the exact price but I remember a 'not totally original', but talked up, SC from the north coast of NSW got what I thought was silly money on Ebay about 12 months ago.

Who's buying, why and where they disappear to I've got no idea ::) :P.

I got a SC500A and i think they look way better in the Yellow chequer block. THE chassis and plastics is just another MX, but the motor is the interesting bit, ran it in the Dt frame for a while and it honks along, but in the MX frame its nothing special, kinda a fat pig really, i think the 360 handles and rides better.

Dollar wise I still think thats too much for the old 363 silver model. But hey let it go higher , only helping my retirement funds. ;D

Post by: Freakshow on April 14, 2009, 02:00:34 pm: Thats what i needs a better frame. the thing lights up in the Champion frame cause its on song open and with the 4 speed, but back in the MX frame it just feels too low and long and acts like a paper aroeplane, fast in a straight line, but unless your drifting the rear it dont like to stop and turn. Bit like perhaps riding a brahma bull ? :D

still they look good but the 360 is the pick IMHO :P
