I finally sold my big HD, Laverda RGS and Vmax 09 which I could not, safely, ride anymore and bought this strange contraption...

Yep some real beauties there,.....
Hey mkane77g, An old school friend has a D6, D8, and a 10 along with other Earthmoving stuff, which I really enjoy playing on,
However I only get to drive the 10 for about 1/4 Hr because he said that he just can't afford the 100 litres per hr, to let me play !!
About 75 Tonne I think. ? I used to be a truckie, so I help him move machines from time to time.
Now about that... Bombardier / KTM, is that the 500cc. I have an 86 ATK 560cc ( Rotax ) here in the shed that I thought might make a nice
little Cafe racer. Especially with the Flat track cam back in it.
I'm trying to get hold of some Classic Flat track DVD, any USA contacts would be great.
AC.
PS. I am new to this Photo bucket thing. Camera gone missing since wifes' last trip home to NZ. Will get some up soon.

I want one of those when I get old(er).
...as far as I can see, PAYING FOR IT is the only real impediment!

Start sending some of your bikes over here Paul, you'll get there a lot sooner.

500cc is correct. Raced in formula S, FII and 750 superstreet. That 10 burned over 300gal. in 8 hrs.

Here is my 1992 Triumph Daytona 1000.
Picked it up 2yrs ago from the original owner with only 8600k's on it.
Was a mess and had been neglegted a bit but I sotred it out and is now very sweet with just under 16000k's @ the moment.
SUPPOSED TO BE VERY RARE AS THEY ONLY MADE BETWEEN 250- 300 of them!

Looks like a pretty cool bike Sweenz,
It reminds me of the mid 80's Honda Interceptors.

Hi Mark,
I had a look at the Interceptor & I see your point.
The only 2 things not stock on this bike are the mufflers & the dark tint screen.
I can take this for a blast with later model bikes & it not only holds its own, but some are downright amazed at how well it corners & performs.
I have had other bikes with more top end but this one does everything very nicely & is a joy to ride.
