RT1MX on on vft.org
« on: March 23, 2013, 10:06:29 am »
What a shame this nice straight old RT1MX is destined to be broken up. It's a bit of a pet hate but I guess the parts situation would be a lot worse without people breaking bikes down. I doesn't seem to happen as much in Australia as it does in the USA. I wonder what the tank's like on the other side? Looks to have a reed barrel now I've looked a bit closer.

Looking at this bike Mark, what parts tell you it is an RT1MX and not just an RT1?
Cheers, Grahame

From this one photo I can see the 21" front wheel and what looks to be the GYT pipe. As I spotted earlier the much yearned for MX chrome bore cylinder has been replaced by a later reed Enduro version. He advertises it an an RT1-M so we're stuck with believing in his honesty ::).
