I'd pay $12k for a very unique factory Honda roller with such heritage. Considering dime a dozen Mega 2's are asking the same price and there's a standard low hrs '89 cr 250 on ebay at $9.5 k.....kind of puts things into perspective.

It's had 6 offers on it,I wonder if they are low balling or serious?

I went to bed the other night dreaming of owning it,Thinking if I sell my modern,my minibikes & my CR125m I might just be able to afford it,tossed & turned all forking night ;D

It's worse than being in love this dirt bike addiction ;)

Bloody rare & cool bike though,It would be the only one in the block ;D

The frame was built by ATK specially for this bike. Based on the Rotax frames, but with the shock on the opposite side...

If you could get it landed for $10k I think it would be well worth if for something so unique and with history.  If only I had $10k........ :(

It seems strange that a "Factory HRC" bike would have a YZ90 Yamaha tank? "doh" no doubt this bike has come out of a Factory but not the HRC or Honda.

there was an atk with xr600 motor being ridden at the qld titles at Harrisville a month ago. no fancy swingarm though. the ATKS were made for yz  plastics maybe why it ended with that tank. it needs a trick aluminium job that's for sure.
Id be fairly sure hed let his go for  less than 9k!

It looks like a YZ tank to me too but also looks like the same tank in both the modern & BITD pics ;)
Certainly does look very similar.

The Lechein bike appears to have an Xr80 fuel tank on it (at least, it looks like it on my phone). Definitely looks like a Honda fuel cap.
The eBay bike does look at lot like it has a YZ490 tank, including the cap.
The ATK kit bike doesn't obviously have the YZ490 exhaust cutout, and seems to have a Honda cap.
The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.

This is very interesting as not 4hrs ago I was standing in front of a Honda engines ATK of which apparently only 5 where built by ATK this one was an enduro version does look very trick and had upside down forks it had just had an aluminium tank made for it, which was a copy of the plastic one in some of those pictures in fact I just took the throttle body off it to bring back to Australia on second thoughts should have left the body and taken the bike!
