Funny but true,
I had this bike back in the 70's or early 80's and had not seen one since but me and the family were camping up at Waipu cove and I heard this bike coming into the camp site, I could have won any amount of cash on name that engine sound. It was a single ported 600 but still sounded the same as mine, loved that bike.

original post

OK i have a few magazines articles that have some well engineered 4 stroke multi's (Plus the odd single) from back when basically the only rule was capacity
IE Real race bikes.

I must get around to scanning a few more...oneday.

Few people would seen or heard of this i had just seen the odd reference.
I could have posted this in ESE or the chassis thread (might anyway).
Tell you the truth i wouldn't mind building a replica anyone got a Crescent 500 3 engine (lying about, they want to give away like)







This last pic i think is another version maybe?
