Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.

First model was Cobra it had bigger carbs 34mm it was a higher performance probably a bit racier porting, but was a bit thirsty, also a faction less oil in the transmission they used to blow 5th as they didn't get enough oil. Different styling more like a T20 super 6.
Reading the net now it seems that there was a model before the cobra called the T500/5. Thats a new one on me. I never heard of that?
The T500/Five, which was introduced in 1968.
Later ones were of course rebranded as GT500 also and styled like them.
Here is an original road test for the Cobra
i always thought the t500 had the longer swingarm not the Cobra?

Edit thet T500 was made possible with decent pistons and the vibes were able to be keep down with the overlapping twisted transfers like the GT750 with was similar design same bore stroke etc.

God that is gorgeous.
I knew someone who restored one but was sadly disappointed in the end result.
Well. . . .

Presumably it comes with that crappy Vee Dub for thirty five grand?

i was only trying to figure out what was wrong
Like i said i knew of the Cobra but not the T500/5.
i once rode a Titan one with open carbs and open expansion chambers, The induction was far louder than the exhaust.
Nice bike to ride but the steering was a bit ponderous.
i heard of people putting t250 swingarms back in them for racing
plus i think longer ones back in t250 which is kind of odd...

Heres one of my perennial favorites. The multi bike sale

At least I think hes selling them all as an auction. It's not very clear. But who wants or has space to buy 4 clapped out small cc trail bikes? Not everyone has a business yard to store things in for 15 years.

Awesome patina apparently.
Yes, yes. It is covered in patina.

And some difficult bits are missing. Airbox, seat and Iconic high pipe. How much?

Low personal B.M.E.P.

Embracing mediocrity
Clearly has not been run since the exhaust was poked through the plastic side cover and the brand shiny new rear shocks were put on.
If you can't do it properly and aren't going to get it finished to a working condition, leave the bloody thing alone.
Riding cheap crappy old bikes badly since 1987
