It makes you wonder who is bidding that much ! I wonder what the reserve is?  I am interested to see what it fetches as mine is much nicer :)

Yes the B1 is a great looking bike.  The gold wheels and swing-arm look nice.  I have both an 82 and 84 and reckon the 82 looks the goods.  But I prefer to ride the 84

Looks really good, but not as good as yours Steve. Wonder what brand of silencer is on it? How is the '84 coming along anyway Steve?

That's crazy. I quit racing in '82 because that bike was so bad. Pretty to look out but it broke regularly and spit me on the ground every other moto.

Hey Rod, good to hear from you mate. The 84 is coming along slowly. It is at GMC's place at the moment having a new pipe manufactured. Also having the seat redone. I have been accumulating parts so I can make a start when I get it back.  We recently had to move to Melbourne so my workshop is all over the place. I still hope to do a couple of Heaven races each year. Radiator shrouds for the 84 have not surfaced anywhere yet. I am also looking for that strut flap.  I have managed to find a few rare items for the B1 which will finish it off nicely.

cheers
steve

I remember a couple of 1980 420's breaking in half at the steering head at local races in Qld.

The 80/81 KX's were known to break frames. Both 250's and 420's. The 82 KX250 was pretty good and the frame problems were supposed to have been fixed. I have not heard of any problems with them.
