Good spotting. I had two, sweet engine, forks like wet spaghetti but very forgiving of ham fisted beginners.

Bored and stroked and balanced my second, which turned out well, although it was easy to overrev with predictable results. Think I put three pistons in it. And a cam, they wore out eventually.

Saw a mint XL185s in a shed near here yesterday. Owner refuses to part with it though, don't blame him.

I'm there in heart, we were in awe of these as kids, Head says it can hardly get out of its own way (just trying to save us all some money

)

Thanks 10bikekid for that. It helps

Be interesting what it sells for ?

You hoon Ocean1

lol. They looked good & were a lot of fun. Mine handled being loaded up with gear & a trip down the South Island & several trips up to Auck from Palmy North with ease. My mate put a 210 kit in his with a straight pipe & super trapp. He could wheelie his with ease.

Hey Robin, I also had 1 of these as a 16 year old. Mine had a 232cc Poweroll big bore kit in it with a hot cam and a super trapp.

Cam also wore through the head on mine and I had to have a plain bearing inserted into the head for the cam to run in.

When starting it used to kick back something shocking, and with the unwary ( or intoxicated ) it would lift them off the seat.

Bloody hell Mark, what a weapon !! And why does that not surprise me with you ? :-)

I bet you had fun dragging off (on road & off) unsuspecting rivals. Though I'm sure the roar of the super trapp may have tipped them off that she wasn't stock standard

but I doubt they suspected a 232 BIG BORE & a HOT cam!! Well done, what fun

Had a GS1200ss. Now that is ugly. Went really faaast though.

The Freewind actually looks good in the multibike photo. Looks bigger than I thought it was.

Too dear for me but good luck with the sale.
