They return.... Out of interest, did anyone ever figure out how to make these relatively reliable?

I'd buy it if I had the time to have a wee project. They're great wee bikes if you get a good one.

That looks like a very good starting point. The ones we got were "dumped" at a low price as they were a sales and PR disaster worldwide. By the time they flooded the NZ market most problems were known and easily (relatively) solved but the rep was established. They would make a neat little addition to anyones garage so get bidding now folks.

I've only ever seen them in pieces,with explanations about how the 3rd cyl......etc.

Kind of like the TX750 - a legend of failure.

- a legend of failure.

Why do I suddenly feel an ominous dread...... Is this the bike I was made for?

I guess there are exceptions but a friend bought a new one and gave it death for for a couple of years and 20thou or more trying to keepup with GSX11s and the like. It never died!!! desite all the dire warnings that were around about the hand grenade quailities even when they were new. I remember it as a competent bike if not spectacularly great at anything one thing.

When I had mine I used to carry a spare piston round in my pocket.
but I dont have any left- they all got used.
In my opinion, MVXs are a bit like Harleys. The kind of bike you own - but shouldn't actually ride.

Crikey - the things you do to get a date eh? (say - is that a piston in your pocket or are you glad to see me big boy?)

I'm with you mate. Hence the 146km since I finished the rebuild 7 months ago.

Giz a geez at it some time, I'm also interested in KR250s for some reason. I'm a sick puppy.

My flatmate had one and got the biggest speeding ticket that ive ever seen on it.

It always sounded like it was seconds away from blowing itself to smithereens!

Ive always had this 1/4 litre twotanger fetish:headbang:
