My first ever wheelie was on one of them, when I was about 7. I was petrified to the pillion seat as my dad "tested" it.

Fond memories, I blame my dad for everything.:laugh:So do I. :msn-wink:

Ha. I was drooling over that. Has been traded 2 years back. Its actually a G with Daytona stickers so should have had the euro pinstripes we got. It's the model I want. Bro in law took 13yr old me pillion and made me need motorbikes in my future.

RD350B was as close as I got to a 400.

I was vieing to buy one 2, 3 years back, even bought a workshop manual, still in contact with potential seller. So still might but prices are a bit salty now.

Certainly one of the priciest.

Seems to be a wee spate of bevelheads at the moment too

i would put it up there. only nearly bettered by a Rob North 3 or a TZ750
the only problem with the egli's was a lot were kind of ugly. They also had weird ergonomics.
This is the best one below i remember, other than the original hill climber.

I was talking to the owner a while back - saw it outside a cafe in Carterton and went back to have a look. Nice guy, quite happy for me to take a few pics and to tell me about it. Apparently first owner only put a few thousand Kms on it, decided he didn't like it and left it in a damp concrete shed.

Yeah but if you bought it, wouldn't it just disappear at some stage?

...yes, with me in it...revisiting the times after 1973, when I sold bikes that I wished now that I still had ,and reclaiming them...particularly my T250 Hustler with the high pipes...ex Stu Avant ...

...a dumb, naive, little wanker, was I...

...nothing much has changed in that respect...hmmmm...........

I only kinda regret selling my RZ and the YZF750SP. But I'd done my time on them and I have an RZ special (somewhere :innocent:)

Murray here used to have one, asked me if I wanted it as I had a boner for Stingers. He still had it relatively recently I think. Yellow one.

I just about wet myself with pleasure and rushed out to buy a Lotto ticket...

However - It's and early example and I'd want to ride it and it just looks like a bike that has sat for a while with an occasional wipe over with a cloth...

I know nothing about this or whether its objectively a "good" bike or not. But I dont care about that. Look at the colour!!! LOOK AT IT! also the swoopy "styled" engine cases.

and its PURPLE

Do want.

Oh Gawd no. Its a Jawa. Run.

Paint a Honda Benly Purple if you must. Heck paint a CM400A Purple if you must and change your name to Squiggle. Just don't buy a Jawa. Even ObiWan Kanobi was shy of them..

Is it a classic if no one has heard of it?

Well, only anoraks who read crazy books. :first:

Never seen one in the flesh. Kind of in same ilk as Hodaka, Bridgestone and Meguro. Heck, I have a whole book full of more odd ones..

I've seen two of them in the flesh. Very eastern European. Both in collections after rebuilds. Both done by very clever engineers - as you have to be to sort one of these. Suitable for use on VCC runs where you run a contest to identify the bike.
