Saw one of these parked up in Dalby Forest this afternoon. I'm not a huge bike fan, but this looked very muscular. 2.5 litre, 0-60 in 2.7. Fúck that

Ah Dalby Forest. I remember when it was free .

Great bike for straight roads, if you like that kind of thing.
For me, bikes were much more about how quickly you could go round bends, but if we were all the same etc. etc..........

£68 a year isn't bad. Nothing is free now.

True and true!

You can get a supercharger kit for them, just in case you felt it was lacking in torque and power

If it used to be £300 then £68 isn't bad........but if it used to be free of charge.

I once looped a Yamaha RD 400.

Peaky 2 stroke power  decided the front wheel should never be on the ground. I think if I had been sober I may have caught it before it spat me off.

We live and learn.

On my DX (coffin tank), you could throw sparks off the ridiculously long, low silencers when pulling wheelies. If you lifted the front wheel up high, the tailpipes would miss the ground, but with a rider on board, the rear springs compressed as the front rose up and the tailpipes hit the ground.    They looked better with expansion chambers on.

'Spannies' were all the rage with 2 strokes back then.
