Very nice KB..  The 74 Elsinore was my first ever motocross bike..   To think I was only 14 years old..  Spent many a w/end out at Menai riding and camping... 
If I were to do another resto this would be the bike...  I imagine they are very difficult to come by?

When are you Honda loving freaks ever going to learn & get some real red in your shed ?  :D  I was once a Honda fan , until I realized that they were just treating me like a fool . Thats when I saw the light & bought a Maico  8) . What sort of a company spends a fortune on bikes & top riders to win the World 500 mx titles in '79 & '80 and then doesn't even sell an open class motocross bike to the public ?  ??? When they finally do build one to sell in '81 , it is a lemon anyway  ::). Takes them until '83 to make a good big bore . In doing so they effectively bypassed the the open class for the entire vintage & evolution movement . Lets face it , the smaller capacity classes are just for midgets & learners and open class is where the action really is at  ;D . Considering the age of most VMX competitors , if you weigh under 80 KGs , you have either got an AIDS related illness or have got a bad case of worms  :D. That is why we need a big bore to lug our fat arses around .

You just have to ride a 125 like you stole it. Thats where a Honda wins hands down. Thrash it all day and park it till next time. Im 90 kg (big boned), and my little 74 and 80 125's drag me around all day!
I reckon you are secretly angry that you sold all your good bikes :D

ooooh I so much agree Husky.  In another era - loved my CR250 but my YZ makes it look bad - and the extra poke certainly helps with the extra kg's!!!
