I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken.

Lovely machine. Price is expensive but seems not too outrageous for the discerning exotica collector.

This Puch is a World Championship winner as I recall. You won't find another for sale for a very long time.  Tom White has one in his museum I think I saw.

NOS Metzlers bars....interesting indeed?

What are the lotto numbers this weekend?

Terry Goods book says........The 1976 Puch 400 is so rare only 8 were built and never sold to the public. Only for works riders.

However the Harry Everts 250 replica was sold in very small numbers. He calls it the more common twin carb 250. VMX magazine issue 14 says 95 were made.

So while not quite rocking-horse poo it is close.

Its a fair price for a very original rare model ,I have seen a few for sale over the years and they only go up in price .

That one comes with boxes of spares  :)

Its only old bike racing FFS get over yourselves

I don't understand why that would be a first  ??? I have a YZ 125D that is on original NOS tyres .

A silencer Hmmmm and maybe some of those Australia only big square number boards to really ruin a genuine original rare piece of MX history  ::)

I don't have the money , but if I did or could raise it in a sensible way I would be all over that bike .

It is something I would ride occasionally and park in the lounge to look at in my old age . Its rarer than a 74 RH 250L and closer to the world championship winning bike in specification and detail than an RH .

Anyone wanna buy a JBR Cheney , Mk 3 B50  Metisse , KX 250 A5 MX fox bike and anything else in my shed  ;D

The chamber on that Puch is original, I would say it would have internal baffles.
