What do you think of this?  Keeping in mind there is a class for it in Euro Classic enduros.

Was that made back in the day? Second photo suggests that it was (van, clothes, quality of the photo, even the milk-crate).

I think that the small capacity vinduro bikes still run 21"/18" wheels (or 19"/17" at least) - the 16/14 combo would probably be a bit exciting in the bush!

Regardless, it looks like a very neat conversion - would look great next to KB's HL80.

The bike is a YZ80 modified to look like a Husky 80.
I remember seeing these pics and reading about it on a US forum a while back, the original owner was restoring it back to it's former glory.

Yeah, came out in 1985 or 86.
21 & 18" wheels, IIRC.

I'd love one of the big wheel KTM80GSes from the late 1980s.

Still remember well at the Cessnock aussie 6 days enduro in 1992 the jockey sized Italians riding the TM80's, holding them flat for 6 days!
