Cool bike to own, but thats one exspensive way of going about it....if it was a 360A then maybe, but you never know....he may have heeps of parts stored away?......or his nightmare about to wake up.

Trevor Flood pretty well dominated on one.
At $7600 that makes Chippy's fully restored YZ360B a great buy at $10,000.

Any yz360b, may be it was Dave Basham 360 B, Dave rode it at the South Australia Titles on easter weekend 1974 at Acusa Park. very dusty track., that may be his old bike.

I know I get accused of being biased but I swear by my 360B - requires a lot more "work" to keep running than other pre 75's I have had but geez it is just so much better it's not funny!

I'd agree with you on that Rossco.
In 1974 i watched Trevor Flood and Moss Smith both on new YZ360B's dominate the Trans Tasman international mx on the Gold Coast against the best Aus and NZ riders of the day.

Gday David, I am pretty sure Dave Basham was still riding the A on that Easter weekend meeting but maybe this B that he is riding is the one???

Or maybe it is this one that Chris Dixon is riding??? ;D
