Pistons Galore, but my kingdom for a rod! (Yamaha, Suzuki and Honda)  Kawasaki's not to bad for rods, but a lot of other things are hard 9$0 to find.

Yeah Mick but we're talking about 1974 and despite Mossiev's questionable 250 World title win, Kato's weren't widely available outside of the USA where they were badged as Pentons. I don't ever recall seeing a KTM in '74 and only really got to know them the following year when I moved to the USA and even then they didn't have much impact on motocross.

Late 74/75 Australian models could be counted on one hand. Even when Flood started importing late 75 numbers were low.

I cant help but feel for Moiseev as well as Falta over that deal, they were very equal all season and as we all know the title should have been Faltas . Moiseev probably didn't want the title the way he got it in 74 but he was a pawn for his Russian masters and a gutless FIM jury. Mosieev went on to show he was a true champion getting 2 more world titles before being forced to give up his KTM for a CZ at a time when CZs were OTB  ::)

Orange turd burgers ?? What a crack up  ;D
Hey Firko what about the 74 CZ400 ??
Didnt it finish 2rd and 3rd in the Mr Motocross series... :)
Have been told they were raced about locally in club motocross in my area at the time.
Must have been a good thing too...
