Jared's Top Ten Monties - Part 1.
« on: January 29, 2008, 05:26:43 pm »
You may have seen 414's Top Ten and Jared's assessment in reply.

http://ozvmx.com/community/index.php?topic=1718.0

You may have been like me, wondering what they looked like and why the fuss. So here ya go....

1/ Cappra 250 (33M)  very rare, very collectable $4G plus for just a roller.

2/ Cappra 360 GP (46M)  Spaniards are snapping these up big time!


3/ Cappra 250GP  (53M) four speed orange tank model


4/ Cappra 250 VR (73M) the early model, straight fin motor, different tank etc.

I think this is the one or something very similar. I think this is a 'works' bike with 'works' mechanics fettling. Jared might correct me. A proddie version would have looked similar but I think had the red tank (just to please Firko ;D ;))

 
5/ Cappra 360 VA (66M) early version, with crank mounted clutch.

Yeah, but it's still dissembled at the mo. I'm just trying to 'clear the decks' of a few home reno's, some wife health issues and some other projects to get time and space to finish off.  It's fairly close with a lot of the peripheral issues (suspension, frame etc) done.

I'm dallying somewhat at the mo ::); I'm choosing between powder coating the cases before assemble or rattle can (and then maybe coming back and redoing the case properly in the future). If I powdercoat I was thinking of getting a home powdercoating arrangement set up - inquiring at the mo.

Too many projects, too little time :P.
