YUCK what a heap of you know what.....

But isn't it a kit bike not a true ME 360? Wounld'nt that be worthe less

Ross i know of one that changed hands here last year for $15,000.
I sold mine 6 or 7 years ago for $10,000 so i figured it should be worth a lot more now.
After a better look at the US one it's pretty rough and would take too many $$ to bring it up to scratch and it only has standard forks so it's not really a good buy.

Your question was answered in your quote. A real ME360 brings it close to works bike prices.

YUCK what a heap of you know what.....

  Suzuki?  (shit)

Why? You feeling lonely down there?

Getting back to the subject.. most of the ME360's were kit bikes.
In the US Al Baker the importer brought in a few complete Mugen bikes that had a modified frame and factory Showa forks and shocks with a Mugen built swingarm but they were expensive at $3500 in 1979. You could buy the complete engine kit for $650 and fit it yourself to a CR250R which is what most people did.
As far as i know only 1 Mugen built ME360 from the factory made it to Australia back in the day for Mark Pace to ride.

yes but that one is a 390 isn't it?

[JohnnyO]

I'm not sure Hoony, i asked Mark Pace about it one day and he was sure it was a 360.

[Hoony]

i'm not 100 % sure either as my hard disk is near full and a reboot is not possible. too many beers ago.

i just seem to remember when Elvis had it it was a 390cc but not sure if that was original when pace had it?

didn't curly end up with that bike?

Anyone?

[JohnnyO]

Yeah i think curly has got it.. Brad will know.

[holeshot buddy]

yeah curly has the bike
and yuk what a piece of poo that ebay mugen is

[090]

As far as Curly and Elvis are concerned, its a 390.

[shortshifter]

I would be more tempted by the YZ360B he is selling with parts.Stil an expensive base for a resto but lookin good on the track when finished.It would be a shame to mate such a bike with my riding skills

Mugen swingarm on it would be nice, looks like early Fox or Thor or something. Just seems like kitted pretty hideous CR, then you don't know the condition of the expensive part, the cylinder and piston, apart from it is missing a fin or 3.
