Hi dan yes i am going to race it i built it to go and race the aussie vintage tittles but as it has worked out i cannot get there now i have been riding it and goes very well nice and smooth with lots of linnier power and great top end speed

stock500:
I had an 82 like that.  I traded it for a new top end for my snowmobile.  If I would have known there was a market for them I would have sold it for some money.  It was in near mint condition.  That is a really cool vintage racer!

KXcam22:
I had a full sponsorship on one of those in 1980. Nice to see one live again. Cam.
