    Last T500 was in `1975 (called the GT500 then).

    Only liquid cooled two stroke of that era was the GT750. (actually, the only liquid cooled bike of the era, full stop).

    Just picked up a '77 GT250B with another bike in spares.

    Let the cussing commence!

    There was the Zundapp 50....but only the head....or the barrel was water cooled.Pretty sure it was the head.Gorgeous orange and chrome....but we never said it out loud.When riding my M20 I had to assume a disdainful air....I would ignore the silly Zundapp and imply I wasn't racing my big 500cc single against a puny 50cc two stroke....all the while wringing as much of the 13hp as I could out of it.You can't really valve bounce a sidevalve,but it's fun trying.
