You are bidding on what has been called the greatest motocross bike of its era by Jody Weisel of Motocross Action magazine. This is the fastest 2-stroke motorcycle I have ever ridden and I have raced many. The power is incredibly smooth and broad and the handling is beyond description. This bike had been thoroughly gone through in 2011 by Steve Stasiefski (Brad Lackey's factory mechanic). The engine removed, frame powder coated, new clutch plates and primary chains, and rear shocks factory rebuilt by Ohlins. The bike has approximately 1 hour on it since rebuild (ridden at Diamond Don's 2011) and has remained in my garage since. I have 2 carbs that come with the bike, a Bing and Mikuni (note the Mikuni is currently installed). I will also include an aftermarket manual. Good luck on your bidding.On Feb-04-13 at 17:45:04 PST, seller added the following information: Ok, lots of questions on engine and frame serial numbers. The engine is clearly stamp-marked-RT3522575. The frame neck is less legible due to powder coating however I read it as-8512784. I would not absolutely attest to the frame but it is best as I can make it out.
