I have a 2013 Hunter Bobber. It is a nice bike for Learners, and I think that it looks great too. It is fun to ride, but has had some intermittent electrical...

I'm using Delz WR250 whilst I get the motivation to fix the XT600:

XT needs a new sprag clutch we suspect... will hopefully find out more this weekend when we open it up...

Both hit the dirt everytime I use them, as I tend to come back home on the dirt roads rather than going through town - so highway and then off onto the dirt roads that link across to where we are.

Current project: 1994 KX125. Being built as an enduro bike.

It's coming together nicely, although I'm currently waiting for heaps of parts to arrive from the USA.

Is the MZ any good? Only rode one once and found the steering really hard to manage just seemed really rough and bars poorly placed (it was new at the time) . Willing enough engine IIRC

have had 1 since 1990. never had any troubles. parts, as far as i know no longer available in Oztralia but plentiful in the UK ad Europe. a London company used to do a 400CC kit with stroked crankshaft and bigger piston.

Bastard XT600... someone has rounded 1 of the studs that stops us getting at the sprag clutch, and sheered off another... really helpful...

Either way theyre nice bikes. I have a couple rx125s,rd200,rd250/350 air cooled. Too many motorcycles to list haha

Ah thats the dream, id love to get a hold of an rd350 or rd400. Hows the 350 to ride?

Just took my CBR1000F for a ride recently after replacing the 27 year old coils with newer COP (stick coil) setup. Much smoother, especially at low revs when the voltage drops a tad as I think the old coils were suffering from age related deterioration (happens to us all in time) . ALways been a fun bike though once the revs get up a bit.

It's Swedish!... I think.
1988 model should be one of the last Swedish Huskies, but the VIN begins with a Z (which means Italy). Weird.

I have 350 barrels on a 250, its good fun in the Adelaide hills :) stupidly sold an old genuine RD350 years ago :(

I wish i had a RD350LC though! A mate has a 350LC and a RD400, awesome bikes. I also have an old Yamaha DT360, she's an old rocket

JocrisBeva
