Cagiva WMX
« on: August 16, 2007, 08:48:56 pm »
Has anyone has come across any '84 WMX Cagiva's. I raced a 250 (190cc) & would like to pick up one to restore / race. Happy to consider 125 or 500. Any leads appreciated. It's OK to be different, isn't it?

2 of them made it to Victoria and were ridden by Vic A Grader Ian Crompton, not sure what happened to them or Ian. I know he used to live in Tarneit (near tooradin) back then.

My father contacted the father of the bloke I sold my bike to in '92.

He had a shed cleanout 2 months ago & took all the old bikes to the scrap metal yard.

He couldn't confirm if the Cagiva was amongst them.

After 15 years I hope I didn't miss it by 2 months.

Search continues. Assistance appreciated.

The wmx190 certainly is a rare bird. I had one back in the 90's. It was one very fast bike but parts were hard to find as it done a big end. Ended up giving it to the wreckers for $200 :(

zorroz,

Yes they were quick. Mine came from the shop geared for desert racing with Pirelli sand tires.

Pity to hear it went to the wrecker.

If it wasn't too many years ago do you remember which wrecker? One willing to buy a Cagiva might still be in the habit. Never know what might be left.

Hoony,

I've been in touch with the bloke that runs the cagivawmx web site.

He said I'm the first bloke from OZ to contact him.

He said he has a number of 190's but hasn't started resto yet.

He has sourced parts so he will be a helpful contact.

Search continues. Any assistance appreciated.


regards,
AJ

zorroz,

There is a similar WMX motard on ebay in the UK. He mentions UK only sale as he was sent a chq for $3K by a previous prospective buyer from South Africa. Sounds like the dud chq scam.

Quick someone tell me there is an '83 WMX190 on ebay in the US.

OK so I'm stressed, this is the first one I've seen since the search commenced.

It looks like the '84 I had except for the forks. Mazzochi's on the Aust model. they were late out here so the US '83 is probably the same as the Aust. '84.

I have emailed the seller about a sale to OZ.

Can anyone give me an idea of the $ damage & procedure to ship out here.

Looking foward to ge hold of this one.

regards,
AJ

I'd own that in a heart beat. My mate struck it lucky last year where he needed some hydraulic pump for work that cost $10g here. Found one in US for $2g (weighed 200kg). He had a mate that happened to be sending a container over from there to oz and had a fair bit of room and got it sent here for nothing. I was thinking at the time how great it would have been to have a dream bike sent over for nothing :(

Cagiva WMX

Just want to get back on page 1.

Only WMX owner I have found so far in OZ not interested in selling his 190.

Leads appreciated.
