Great stuff Fire, you've got something real special there, I know a lot of people go weak at the knees for SS's but the MHR, for me, is the one to have .
I just popped it on general, should maybe not have put it on here just thought it looked similar to the garage find
Hard to tell exactly but looks like a bitsa of some sort. Although I can't see an eccentric pivot in the picture the swinging arm has no sliding adjuster at the rear wheel so it is probably based on an 860GT with a Hailwood paint job and a strange looking single seat unit.
Agree it looks like a bitsa, not an unpleasant thing though and at that price it's a cheap engine if it's in decent fettle!
Lol...you know what I had 6k offered the other day, I couldn't do it but still might in the future just could not rush into something I might regret, if I had a solid opportunity to use the money I would, I want a crf 125 for the flat track crashing
I don't blame you. If you're not in a desperate bind for the money then I'd keep it, it looks a peach and if you change your mind then you'll have to spend more to get another as clean. Also a CRF125 isn't going to cost you £6k... Flat-track school is ace, isn't it? Such a good day out.
You are right, with the engine work that's been done be very few in the uk as good I'd have thought, crf £1500 I reckon, flat track is like the thing you are looking for has been found, love it ticks a lot of boxes
Yep, even the falling off is quite good fun. I'm sure you could spanner yourself if you tried, but dusty low sides are more funny than painful.
Frame is GT/GTE/GTS. Eccentric adjusters in the frame for the swinging arm and rear drum confirm this. One of the pictures shows a starter motor engine case (not fitted to the bike) and there's also mention of 1977, which would make it a GTS. A bitsa, but looks tidy. Could be fun.
