This one is 1973 sideport

Told you all that Sudman had some cool bikes!
I'm officially in love with the side port, and the Baja especially with the big tank:love:
You taking them both to Martinborough on Sunday?
Might ride over the hill on the DR with Pikey for a look.
(If I get my shit together I'll bring the PE250 and/or he RM400 and ride as well! - wont be on the DR then though, they're good, but not that good without a sidecar!)

[sudman]

I think Masterton could be out for me as I have some family coming down from Akl to see me.

Somebody please post something cool.
That fecking ugly Bavarian Money Waster made me sick up on mykeyboard, now the spacebarisrooted. Mind you, the spacebarhas been more relialbe than anypoxy horizontialy opposed horrorever made, so I shouldn'tgrumble.

Cool amplifier hooked up to the headers...


The thing I like about that style of bike is you can start with anything aircooled as a base...

[Padmei]

I really like that seat. The bsa that follows it is pretty cool too.

[Woodman]

No sorry Underground, but thats not cool. Maybe cool in a butt ugly kinda way but not cool in a cool way. I quite like that style of bike but that one just does not do it for me.

[NordieBoy]

If the seat support looked less like a robotic arm it'd be better.

[Underground]

Awfully sorry Woodman. but I searched and searched and searched.....and still couldnt find a cool looking KLR for you :dodge:

I thought the engine was all Honda. Christini add the power take off and a modified headstock to get the drive to the front.

"NordieBoy: I thought the engine was all Honda. Christini add the power take off and a modified headstock to get the drive to the front."




I thought so too at first... but apparently not.

See comment #15 on bikeexif by 'harryfxr' and Christini's website:

http://www.christini.com/christiniawd450.php

i would like to know how good that engine really is...

[NordieBoy]

So not a conversion but basically a complete bike from Christini.

My favorite is the KTM 950 AWD though.


Christini also do AWD pushbikes...

Ooooooh!:niceone:

Never like the Beemer "bricks" til now - That looks like a great bike, and pretty simple as well, makes you wonder why BMW never put a similar bike out? - sort of a K series HP2 (still the coolest adv bike out there I reckon!):cool:
Would be a slick special if you could get G450 or 650 parts to upgrade a K75 as well...

This KLR (http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/motorbikes/motorbikes/dual-purpose/auction-427729287.htm) isn't bad for a dollar.

http://images.trademe.co.nz/photoserver/57/196225857_full.jpg

[dino3310]

never thought i would think of a KLR as cool but that one is :yes:
only that one though

[Woodman]

Don't wanna be cynical, but except for the colour scheme I can't see wots so special about that KLR.

[Box'a'bits]

Don't wanna be cynical, but except for the colour scheme I can't see wots so special about that KLR.
Where's the rear guard? Being a KLR rider, he's sold the unused portion of the seat, & the side covers. The fairing's been cut & shut / tilted foward to get more of a rally look going (actually likely so he can shift the bars forward). Otherwise it Woodmans bike...:pinch:

Edit - Okay, been to the auction. The rest of the bike is available separately. 1987, so has been tidied. And not showing the wear from the 100k kms he's states. Can see the work in this, but sorry, maybe not 'cool wall' to me.

[Padmei]

i reckon it's cool. I didn't pick it for a KLR for a sec. All the better that it's been nominated by a DR rider:drinkup:
Remember boys & girls the rules tho - no posting KLRs & DRs as there are plenty of other threads that turn into slanging matches.

[Ender EnZed]

All the better that it's been nominated by a DR rider:drinkup:

It was a contextual thing, it's cool compared to other $1 bikes on Trademe last night.

I wonder if there is a rule in 2 stroke engine design that states the expansion chamber must be 50 times bigger than the piston

[Woodman]

That Ducati is a most worthy recipient of the cool wall. Awesome.
Would go nice in my living room.
Don't those 50cc racers have about 10 gears or something?

Edit: The carb on that is the same as the one on my Benelli. You can get different float bowels so the carb can be side draft of fully down draft or inbetween like that one. Mine is the same angle as the Duc.

OMG ,I'm gonna have to drag it out from under the bench and stare at it again for a few weeks, wondering where to start then put it back under the bench having done nothing:facepalm: Damn you Padmei.

At the toy run yesterday I was walking with the lil ponies & picking "our favourite bikes' Mine was a oily well ridden purple Benelli cafe. When we got home Mrs Padmei mentioned that she finally saw a bike that she would approve of me buying (the bane of many discussions we have over my potential bike purchases). "It had Benetti or something on the tank" -
"Was it purple"
"Yes!"

Must be fate. I will be expecting someone to ask me this week if I want 'this old bike that's been hanging around here in the garage"

A mate of mine picked up an absolutely mint It200 a few years ago.
As we were driving up to Kimmy's Farm for a ride I was raving on about it - "...It200N, wow I had one just like it, road it in the National 3 Day...fantastic bike...blah blah.." Stevie said "...if ya shut the fuck up, I'll give ya a ride on it!"

I did half a lap and brought it back. I told him it was just as I remembered except the suspension was shit and it had no power....it was horrible...

'In Memoriam', "for those who gave everything..."

to muse on the era before Health and Safety concerns regulated ambitions and passions. When an entire nation would sit as ghosts on the shoulders of a young man breaking speed records for England (or...), then laud his return, thronging the streets of London (or...) by the hundreds of thousands. When it was possible to be a hero for doing something which had never been done, and which might have cost his life.

Since this has gone a little off the rails, I might as well post this. Werner Broesel has his own motorcycle based comic strip. In one of the episodes the character Werner, build a multi engine Horex to beat a Porsche 911. Of course, the real Werner couldn't resist to follow up with the real thing.

No, a KLR is better because KLRs come from the factory overweight, and ADVGD had to add his extra weight.

The antena's will be a BMW sensor to sense when the sump is near the ground so it can activate the Electronic suspension raising device, ESRD. This will automatically raise the suspension to prevent the sump from touching the ground, thereby being able to do away with a real sumpguard, and fitting a much lighter plastic one. :lol:

Never been off road... Built by an adventure bike fanatic...:nya:

I guess he didn't say adventure riding fanatic, just adventure bike fanatic :laugh:

It must suck spending $17K on on new bike & then having to bolt another $7K of crap on it to make it useful.

My experience with that model is that it badly needs less crap hanging off it, not more. I also seem to recall a couple of early ones for sale in Christchurch that went summat like "...40,000k's, full motor rebuild...".

[Night Falcon]

Expensive, but still a Tenere, so not cool...

Maybe the owner needs to market it internationally? Theres 631 folks last count on ADVrider that want to bring the 10 to the US :scratch: I know they worship elephants in India....:laugh:

10 BIG's in stock!


I don't know how many there are left in New Zealand. A few DR750s still around, I know that.
The DR800s? I know of one at least, that sold on Trade Me the other day.....

To Me.....:facepalm:

Went to look at it today and ride it as well.....I will pick it up Saturday, looks like it will be a trailer job though as there is a lot of extras to come back home...Shit, it was great to get back on a Big! I realise my best riding was on that DR750s, loved it.....Comfortable all day riding, big Kms and really trouble free.

Actually, if I can rent a mate for an early start, I won't need a trailer. He could drive my ute home and I could ride...:)

[Horney1]

Can't see much of the motor or the bike but this recent pic of Riaan VAN NIEKERK in the 2013 Dakar looks pretty cool to me. (Probably a lot hot for him though! :sweatdrop )

There were lots of great pics came out of the race.

Sold one..

I camped next to a guy from Christchurch on a DR800 doing the Dusty Butt this year. They trailered it to Fairlie without a hitch until a judder bar in the campground broke a strop and the DR came off the trailer breaking mirrors and bent the bars.
Saw them on the first day but not again after that.

Saw them again after the first day in Alexandra, he said it was a bit awkward with uneven arms but manageable so I assume he was able to complete the dusty!
