There's one on e-bay right now, that's what piqued my interest. Possible wife-bike. Dunno though, might stick with a DR or XT though for after market support. Thanks for all the replies guys. dat brooklyn bum _______________________________________________________ Say Bye to Slow Internet! http://www.home.com/xinbox/signup.html

Tom >>>>>>>>>>> Oh yes, she can cause great harm. She's almost 6' tall and could tame a wild boar without spilling her margarita. Danger? Give me some more! OF course we all know that the real measure of a wife-bike is how much fun it is to borrow, right?? dat brooklyn bum _______________________________________________________ Say Bye to Slow Internet! http://www.home.com/xinbox/signup.html

I'd like to own one. First appeared in the early 80's to my knowledge, as a USA built machine, with the Rotax motor ............ and were cleaning up on the desert enduros at one time........Open desert bike class is they're forte.......but great in the mountains, well designed...................slightly heavy by leading edge standards today(I think?). Torque for days..............light switch throttle response. Weaknesses I have not heard much about............ Slide>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Thanks Slide, That's what I call info!!! There's a 99 490 on e-bay. It's at $2376.01 right now but reserve is not yet met. No affiliation with seller just passing along info. It's probably too much bike for my wife right now so feel free to jump on the bid-wagon if you wish.
