I have a lot of fun on my '78 M206 Mk11 Pursang 250.
naw ive got the holy grail of vintage mx bikes......1975 MX400B the very first monoshock ever! my cousin bought it brand new.$1000.00 out the door i have it 90% restored just needs rear shock rebuiltBadgerMan said:Here’s my short list. No rhyme or reason other than they are bikes that I thought were very cool at the time. The only exception is the Cappra as I owned a 1979 250VE. I always thought the pre-1979 glass tank bikes were better looking.
1972 WR250 Husqvarna
1974 YZ250
1974 YZ360, the Holy Grail of vintage MX bikes
1974 TM250
1974 Penton Jackpiner
1975 CR125
1976 YZ125
1977 Ossa Phantom
1978 KX250
1978 Montesa 250 Cappra VB
my first big bike hehe was a hodaka STEENS 90 with ceriani forks akront rims.my uncle was friends with steens and this was his personel bike used to beat all the other guys 125s and 175s hehehe :ride: :nener:pryor said:Man I loved my hodaka it was just a striped ace 100 with a earls front end and all the webco stuff I could get my hands on, probably best time on a bike ever had. maybe that is the bike, and I know were two are next to each other with under 900 miles and real close serial numbers.
at Mount Carroll illinoise a few weeks ago, a friend on one of these had his carb blow off, somehow! He was almost in tears, but I had to ask, if he new where to still get maul pistons? Nope, wiseco? I'm running maxima 927 jetted for 20:1, you can't kick my bikes over in gym shoes! I often get the hole shots, especially on the 480! Ryan, my oldest son, has now jetted his at 24:1! It took some arguments!! But his 05 yz250? His plugs were melting, and the piston showed detonation! 110 Sunoco out of the ground? Phooey!I'd want the 1978 Maico MC250 or the 440 from the same year. With a Mikuni VM38 carb of course.
