What or WHO was this?

[xwhatsit]

like this?..

That's a Jap domestic SR400. The front end, complete with drum, is a common 250RS mod over there to increase braking performance and damping. Same bike wot's in my profile. Very common source to convert to flat-track/café racers.

My SR500 had drop bars and a bikini fairing in 1977 or 8.

Nobody else 'got it'. But I had 'em f***ed why the boys couldn't keep up on CB750s through National Park, South of Sydney.

Always ahead of the game.
