Not quite vintage, but definitely old school, for me the DR750/800 is one of the coolest looking old school Dakar bikes ever made, monstrous awesomeness :drool:

IfI didn't have one already I'd be all over that one - cool tank, mono rear end, forks don't matter cos it'll be a forks swap job.

Damn I may even stretch to four bikes if the price stays low.

[Padmei]

Damn I wish I hadn't seen that trademe ad- Bugger you Oscar:angry:

[Stylo]

Nice one mate...reminds me of the few weeks I spent on the Yamaha XT600 Tenere ' back in '86 in North Africa , ( Big ) white tank with the red decals ...what a trip and what a Bike ....there was a Blue tank option in '87 from memory ? , all good and far out...

[Oscar]

Bugger you Oscar:angry:

You can't afford me:rofl:

There's a muffler sitting in the shed mate that I took of the DR in 1992 when the Zorsts went on, I'll fish it out and have a look at it for ya I think I filled it with oil way back then so it might still be alright.

Werewolf had a ride on it, seemed to manage o.k. :yes: and you're 3 inches taller than him :shutup:Yebbut I wasn't paying attention when they said you have to get your feet flat on the ground. Doesn't worry me if my feet miss by 3 cm or 30 cm, I'm still gonna ride the fcuker! :scooter:
