    Remember the mothership in CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND?

    Wonder what happened to it?

    Wonder no more.

    I just hope all them blue lights are on poles that can be controlled from the cock pit. Though with a typical Hoggley Doggley output of 50 hp from 1600cc if you had all the lights going at once there would be no spare ergs for forward propulsion.....

    Anyway, if anyone wants to buy this for me, please dont.

    This is kinda cool.

    I'd say "who knows?" But I'll upgrade that to " who cares?"

    And yes if you want $2.5k for a $300 bike at least another to drag it outside, run an oily rag over it and a few pictures in the sun to make it seem more attractive than " why dont you get rid of that bloody bike? You never ride it. "

    She's not wrong. You've turned into a miserable old prick mister.

    Hey look! A clown's comedy bike. You could ride this in parades and that sort of thing.

    https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/m...ing/5442087265

    And again. Yes it is an effort to drag it outside, heck even trailer it to a cafe or a beach or something to sell the lie of being perceived as cool if you were to own this.

    Otherwise it looks like what it is. A garage filler albertross that you have lost interest in riding, probably because it's like being kicked in the arse endlessly on a smooth road.

    There was a thing for these as people wondered what to do with crashed ones or when the uber expensive ABS died on queue.

    Um. . . Where's the rest of it.

    https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/m...ing/5441716139

    Needs a full rewire, if I get time. . . Well clearly you've lost interest.

    And how will it run with no airbox and a filter hanging off the side? Do you have to rechip those? and who has tge sw to interface with those old FI units?

    Needs of course an LVV for framework and brakes (sans ABS as std might be a real issue.

    How much??!!?

    Ok last one for tonight.

    Made for one year only he sez. But I know they had updates to try to stop them exploding I assumed it was the next year?
    Had a crazy system of solid crankpin on middle cylinder then changed to oversized rod eye. I've seen them but can't recall.
    Says cylinders were replated. . . Hmm. Memory has me holding a barrel and being flabbergasted that it was iron
    Maybe that was just the head. It bolted on and there was a ally water jacket over the top of it.

    Very rare as they were an unreliable engine with VT250 running gear competing with RG250s.

    Racing pedigree. Make me larf!

    Used to see rows of them outside Sawyercommin from the school bus. Buy a VF and get a free MVX we used to joke.
    Of course the VF was almost as bad for reliability.

    How much?!?¿
