Gday Steve,
No I only have the brochure. But I do have a Mk 7 360 Pursang though.

Hi Jerry, I assume you mean the Mk 7 and not the Brochure. The Mk 7 isn't for sale as it will always remain part of the family.

mmm...nice! 8) there is one Astro I know of that's a regular down at Coffs Harbour DT but I somehow doubt Russell would ever sell it as he races it frequently ;)

Hey Jerry its a catch 22, it's a very tempting offer because they would be very handy as I need to build a shed to put the Bully in but without the bike I wouldn't need the shed.

p.s. you could look at it on the cover of VMX#5 though.

regards
Stan

Jerry, I do believe that was Russels' Astro from Coffs at Double the Dirt last year. Was there with Don Thornton and the #13 Rickman TM125? If so that be the bike I'm talking about ;)

huski I read somewhere a while back that a '69 250 Pursang pumped out about 30hp and the 360 around 45HP. Both fast bikes but 42HP maybe exaggerating things somewhat. Stands to reason if the 250 puts out 42 then the 360 should be well over 50HP..but this is not so ;)

Yes doc does sound like a lot for a standard 250 but good ol' school tuners knew their stuff ( imagine how she would go on A ) i had a 370 mk 9 back in 76' (stock) that supposedly put out 42, very tractable power,a gem to ride.Got a mk5 iam building at the moment sure like to get 42 out of it but probably keep her fairly standard for reliability :)

The Astro's were giant killers on the dirt track so one could possibly assume they did have big HP but it would have all been at high RPM with nothing in between. If it really was 42 that's bloody amazing ;) I've a picture of Russel's bike somewhere, been trying to find it for a day now ::)
