Name that bike

[Dadpole]

Just to ruin your day! A virtual cigar to the first man/manette to identify this. Only a part pic - too easy with the whole bike

Just to ruin your day! A virtual cigar to the first man/manette to identify this. Only a part pic - too easy with the whole bike

Hmm considering I don't know old bikes... or new bikes that well for that matter, I shall take recent postings to heart and say 'spagthorpe wheezlethingymagigy' that people were going on about....

Am I right D:? :2thumbsup

[White trash]

Honda Cub. Or something similarly gay.

[Dadpole]

No luck so far - and nothing gay about these bikes. Not some shrimp-size oriental commuter model.

[Sensei]

Humm motor on front wheel by the looks . thinking thinking :scratch:

[FlangMasterJ]

Is it a Magolia - Front Wheel Drive Motorcycle?

[Dadpole]

FlangmasterJ - Your cigar is being e-mailed. That was quick.
The Megola was front wheel drive. 1/no gear. No clutch. You started it by push start, or - if you were brave - put your foot in the spokes and kick it over.

[FlangMasterJ]

Thanks alot. I don't smoke so I'll put it on my mantle piece instead :)

My turn now.......

[Dadpole]

Spoke wheel? - with that setup. Hmmmm...

[XTC]

Husky SM610?

[FlangMasterJ]

Husky SM610?

Ooooooh very close! You got the brand right!

[XTC]

SMR630?.......

[FlangMasterJ]

A hint for ya. This bike was a limited edition Husky, only 300 ever made.

[FlangMasterJ]

Released in 2002......

[XTC]

Gotta be the SM570 NOX then? Or SM570R

[FlangMasterJ]

:banana: Congrats XTC! This is one phat bike. My friend owned but he sold it (WTF was he thinking?)

Good effort your turn XTC.

[XTC]

Very Nice. You see the pic of the SMR630 i put in? $16800 USD!!! wow! Doesn't look as good in the yellow and blue tho. Really needs all that carbon fibre bling that the NOX had.

[FlangMasterJ]

Yeah that new 630 is an Eddy Seel replica I believe. $16,000 USD? That's $24,000 NZ. That's a fair bit of coin. I guess If I had the money I'd buy the new Husky SM610.

Well I'm off to bed. I expect to see a cropped down pic of a mystery bike from ya XTC tomorrow. :corn:

[XTC]

Righty people here's one for you....

[FlangMasterJ]

Righty people here's one for you....

Is it a CR250 Elsinore? (just throwing one out there)

[XTC]

No wrong marque. Factory race bike, early nineties, alloy perimeter frame years before honda developed one. They also make piano's and stuff.

[XTC]

Here's a clue.....

Allmost gave it away there as I forgot to change the file name of this shot... :crazy:

[TLDV8]

They also make piano's and stuff.

Some kind of Yamaha.. is all i can add. :scratch:

[Sniper]

XR?..........

[XTC]

Some kind of Yamaha.. is all i can add. :scratch:
Close so very close.....

[FlangMasterJ]

1990 Yamaha YZ125?

[Motu]

I was going to say Yamaha when I saw that swing arm,but don't know what model,a YZ250 od some sort,with 19in wheel?

[XTC]

1990 Yamaha YZ125?
Getting closer. Being a factory bike it has another letter YZ_ and having that large expansion chamber makes it a 250 and the year is 1991. First YZ to have an alloy frame was dumped after 2 years as the riders didn't like it.

[FlangMasterJ]

I can't find it. It was in one of the recent ADB mags though. Productivity at work is going down because of you XTC. :Punk:

[Sniper]

YZF250?..........

[XTC]

YZF250?..........
The "f" is a four stroke. But then the first 400 pre production four stroke was also a YZ_400F . Just like the 500 gp ROAD racers were YZR500's the factory race MOTORCROSSERS were YZ_125/250/400etc

[Sniper]

You can tell I know nothing about trail bikes. YZM?

[XTC]

You can tell I know nothing about trail bikes. YZM?
Well done that man. It is the 1991 YZM250. And what a trick bike it was in it's day. Yamaha scrapped developement on the alloy perimeter frame and a few years passed and honda brought out an alloy frame almost identical....

[Sniper]

:woohoo: thanks

[XTC]

And here's the YZM400

[XTC]

Your turn now sniper.....

[FlangMasterJ]

Good call Sniper and good choice XTC. Your turn Sniper.
