very nice,IMO the best looking mxer ever built,would sell my grand mother to buy one -buts she is a skanky old crack whore so wouldnt
get much for her.
I agree Grant, the Silver Bullet is up there as one of the prettiest motocrossers ever made and reputedly one of the fastest. Legend has it that they produced 60+hp and were difficult to ride. Apparently they were detuned quite a bit by the time the white tank model came out.
Husky Pete got his Husky CR500 Silver Bullet (above)and I got my Jaguar XJ-S Walkinshaw from the same bloke in Canberra who had, amongst other things, been Paul Keating's Press Secretary and up until recently was the CEO of the Sydney Market Authority. A really interesting bloke whose car collection belied his Zegna suit and $500 shoes public life. He also owned a '72 Datsun 1600 fitted with a 400+bhp turbocharged 2340cc FJ24 motor and a brace of ugly but extremely cool turbocharged Maserati powered Citroen SMs..........
