One of my friends from HS made a 500 ATC. It was a wheelie machine that was constantly cracking the frame from vibration. a handful, but still stupid fun.

Yea, Ive seen a few as well...crack. Particularly the 85s but if built well there impressive toys. Im always on the lookout for either a. 86 6 speed Yamaha Tri Z or a. 85 or 86 250R (3 wheeler only) I'm still not a huge quad fan..even though tbey are superior machines.

I must get a cruiser at some point..but the " dream bike" is simple, the bikes I have already.
If I had to pick one its the my little bitty 85 RZ350.
Shes been with me a long time..I'm sentimental, dont think i could bring myself to get rid of her.
It's 100% exactly everything and more that I ever could have originally hoped for, I pretty much will have built a completley reimagined RZ that is exactly cosmetically as I wish & with all the performance I need from her. I'm so lucky to have this project, I smile every time I look at it, but... not at all the parts & fabwork still to do $$... :smt011 Thats the frustrating part, but I have a few other hobbies that are equally important to me..so progress is what it is :smt023

If I'd originally known the cost and time it would take...I would certainlly have bought a Honda NSR250 MC21 or 28 ( back...when they were affordable) and just been done woth it...lol :smt043

My friend just might have a Tri-Z, and I know he has an unused YZ490 just sitting there... :smt003

Probably at the top of my list is a 1978 Z1-R in blue ice. Sorry its not a two stroke. Prices getting away from me now. A Daytona Special is also up there. The top of the list is a Scott flying squirrel. It is the ultimate two stroke for me. I'll never own one as the prices are getting bad. A black 1932 would be the bomb.

Bultaco Metralla

I put a lot of miles on a Metralla back in the '70s. Should never have sold it, but at least it found a good home in the Deeley Museum.
A 360 Montjuic would be cool too.
