CPI cylinders Serval or Cub. Same style manifolds as mine. Keihin Pwk carbs. Probably 35s. That would be mid 70 to 80hp depending on bore size of which there are several.

Don't you look at my accountant.

Easy 60hp with zero reliability problems, the bottom ends are a bit over built, but it'd still be overpriced and uglyOriginally Posted by F5 Dave
The people in the comments talking about how much shit costs to build should know you may as well set your cash on fire because you aren't getting it back

Years before they did these they had a bantam/dkw 125 clone called a hummer....Except turning up to HOG meetings with said ape hangers and 15:1 premix.
The early Cagivas used the Aemacchi Harley motor. when harley sold off aemacchi
Harley did a MX bike as well
the 75 model limited production had rear fork shocks and a rear disc.

If we could have sourced an engine, making a 125 copy would have been dead easy.
Forks are 30mm Cerianis same as road 250/350.
Very pretty little bikes. And as my customer already had 250 and 350 race replicas, it would have rounded out the collection.

Ok, I thought I knew everything, but I'd never seen that dirt model. Or the crazy forks for shocks idea. Ever.Years before they did these they had a bantam/dkw 125 clone called a hummer....

Amazing that they carried on with their Pig Iron wilderbeasts thereafter.

Doug Bradbury of Answer Manitou made an early FS mountain bike using the same principle. It was hella expensive and not very good. I vividly remember when the first of my mates paid $1000 for a pair of Manitou 1's (we were riding rigid bikes at the time) which had 25mm of elastomer goodness travel. This is very early 1990's round 1993

Heres a local example with a pipe barely scrapes past 40 which is a fair improvement on before. Next step is big bore which means not a 65.

5 grand for a collection of parts some clearly not for this bike, no pipes, lots of corrosion, tank that looks like it has spent some time in a cement mixer.

Yeah I did see. I had a 350 with the obligatory 250 stickers I put over the incriminating 350 ones.
But i didn't make an offer for the one that lived at my place for several years. Just didn't toot my flute as much as the 400G. Had one lined up but never happened. Hes still supposed to call when hes ready, but the price will have doubled by now.
Decided I should put effort into finishing my 500 rather than another project.
Problem is I'm too tired at night and like today, the choice was go out and ride the 765 or stay home doing test runs and spannering. Sun was shinning, pie was calling. , ,

I guess I could go into the garage now, but I'm too drunk/tired from servicing the missus.
Had spare ribs, slow cooked then basted with made from scratch sauce, turn, baste, turn baste, repeat another 5 times.
Roast potatoes. Salad. Cooking beer. Wine. Yum..
