 I have a mag test on it doing a shoot out against the other 1983 500's. From memory it had a weird riding position

And the reed valve motor wasn't as good as the earlier case reed Rotax's.
Still fairly unique, wasn't there a 250 resto story in an old VMX mag? Think it was in the UK and called an Armstrong, same bike though.
