I got a water bottle Maico Zabel engine here just going threw it now with Frank Hofmann he said send pics so as to identify, (got the wife onto that), Frank reconds no matter what it is can sort parts no worries at the moment looks like a 1985

you might squeeze it through on the follow-on rule (pre85 that is)

ahhh EML luv ya sence of humour , but alas that aint gunna happen (or will it) nah just kidding  but would be a good pre90 what do you think? or be great in helping me to scrape up the bucks for me Pre85 EML, so back to that old chestnut whats the best donk for me pre85......

[EML]

It will be great for pre90. I would hang onto it unless you get good dollars for it.
Best engine for pre85 is the GR. No doubt that it is as quick as most heavily modded XSs. It has all the goodies built into it, 270 crank, dual mass flywheel...think like a slipper clutch, splash cooled pistons and 15kg lighter. They just need some development but that is coming. (900cc is not out of the question) Think a lazy 80HP.

If it is for sale and I can afford it, I'm interested at least. I have an 88 model.

  yep no worries, just waiting for Frank to get back so we will then know exactley what year it is, all I can say is that its a runner goes ok but they had trouble starting it cold, will swap for a RM465 donk or sell for the same price as the for mentioned
