Saw this down at the local mc shop. I wanted to take outside for better pics but you'll get the idea.

Damn. I've got some racing shots of a yellow 450 Duc somewhere but I can't find them :(

[Eddieb]

Nice Duc

My Ducati 250 is slightly older than that, but not a scrambler unfortunately.
That scrambler is a wide case motor so would be made somewhere between '68 and about '72, mine was made in '66 or '67.

[Woodman]

Saw a heap of these mini KLR motards in Thailand, amongst billions of scooters they are a breath of fresh air.
They may be here but I haven't seen one and I think they are cool.
BTW thats me standing behind with my head cut off as a size reference.

I think you guys need to look up the definition of "cool"


cool
adj. cool·er, cool·est
[Middle English cole, from Old English cl;]

Cool is an aesthetic of attitude, behavior, comportment, appearance and style, influenced by and a product of the Zeitgeist. Because of the varied and changing connotations of cool, as well its subjective nature, the word has no single meaning

Antonyms: Uncool, KLR650, KLR650 owner.

I used to own one in 1994. Looked damn cool & more fun than a fistful of firecrackers :yes: But coming off a CG125 anything was gunna be better! it I never really liked the way it handled on gravel, felt a bit top heavy, but I only ever had road tyres on it & I couldn't ride for shit on gravel then anyway. On twisty tarseal it was glorious, heaps of grunt for a 250, delivered nicely via the YPVS, good brakes, real easy to ride fast through corners. Not so flash for touring, 130km ish tank range & by that stage your arse needed a break from the seat anyway.

The TZR based engines were apparently a total handgrenade though, mine lunched itself 2 weeks after I sold it.

Check out the angles of the conrods, they reach tdc at different times so are slightly offset.

I don't think they do. I think they reach TDC at the same time & some trickery is done at the crank.

That’s bloody well thought out but I don’t think it’d be much lighter, if at all. Very rigid in it’s working planes. I'd love to see the FEA work that went into it, bet they didn’t fall it off it’s paddock stand and bent one of those dainty wee rails 5mm laterally and then stress it up.

Good pics. Quick tip Almoto. .
If you open up a photobucket account (it's free & as far as I know there's no malware attached) you can upload pics onto it - it uploads from the web & your hard drive - you can then paste the image code straight onto your post.
That way the big pics show up in one post & not individual thumbnails.

I find the easiest way is to open up a different tab & transfer between the two.

I thought it was quite cool, for a boxer. Just enough straight edges, flat panels and brushed alloy finish to give it a modern stylistic... edge :facepalm:... to make it coo-wull.

Still instantly recognisable as the base bike, but with a "hey! what the..." second glance. Much better interpretation than a modern Bonnie or those Ducarti SS / Paul Smart reintarnations.

The owner doesn't say much about it. He notes that the tail light is modified & is off an R67? but repacked with LEDs.
