Member Contributer bmart Posted March 28, 2022 Member Contributer Share Posted March 28, 2022 Very nice! I've not ridden a triple or parallel twin I've liked, but I have enjoyed a few singles. I've allways wanted an SZR660, but that is less likely to happen now than before! I did own 1.7328 SRX250s that were just too far gone to rescue. But then...1998 MZ Sport Cup, which I loved, but was what people nicknamed the wall of sound. It was LOUD! And I currently have a 2009 KLX250SF, which fulfills street, SuperMoto, and dirt duty.

voodoo Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Me, me, me! First up: the lovely MZ etz251, 21bhp of DDR loveliness. Second: an MZ Skorpion traveller. 660cc engine from Yamaha. Third: another 660, this time a Yamaha XT660Z Ténéré. And last but not least: an MZ Skorpion cupracer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer slowbird Posted April 13, 2022 Member Contributer Share Posted April 13, 2022 Can I add my newly acquired JDM Super Cub to this thread? 1995 Honda C50 Super Cub Was imported from Japan to here in Toronto, Canada. Still has all of the Japanese labels and markings, Even the fuel gauge is in Japanese. Has a 3-speed rotating transmission and a centrifugal clutch. Pressing down to change gears Needs some TLC but it's a fun little bike. But very very sloooooowwwwww. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregostini Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 I had a few yamaha YZs in my teenage years and into my 20s, 80cc 125cc and 250cc. Then the absolute laugh riot KTM380EXC, that thing would wheelie pretty much anytime, in any gear. Later on I put motard wheels on it. Shame I had to sell it a few years back. I still have my SZR660 track bike which doesn't get used enough, someday I'll find more time for it hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer St. Stephen Posted April 13, 2022 Member Contributer Share Posted April 13, 2022 Do lawnmower engine powered minibikes count? If so... 1. The most basic ICE-powered vehicle possible, blue metal tube frame, no suspension, centrifugal clutch, a foot pedal that pushed a curved metal plate against the rear wheel for the only brake, and a Tecumseh lawnmower engine. My Panigale at 11 years old! 2. Bonanza 100cc Hodaka two-stroke powered minibike. It had an inch of front suspension travel! Can you say wheelie? 3. Suzuki TS250.

Member Contributer Thumbs Posted April 13, 2022 Member Contributer Share Posted April 13, 2022 CCM R30 I got this 5 years old with a new set of Pirelli Diablos, 2k miles from new with every extra offered on it, a rich man’s toy The motor is basked on the Suzuki Freewind 644 single with a different twin carb head, it would wheelie in the first 3 gears I had it bored out to 105mm, 710cc and a race cam put in, then it would wheelie in the other 2 ….. it ticked over like a watch @1500 but was gutless below 3k Unfortunately within 4 months I’d been hit off the BMW and had bust my pelvis, after which it was too uncomfortable for me anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
