just collected this.............
GT750 motor is way too big to fit in here, so a sympathetic restoration is the way to go, I think

Bimble is the word. A good mate got one, geared it for a bit less revvy speed and nearly got seasick on it the first time out due to bouncy tyred handling. Flogged it and made a bundle so win win in the end.
Think of how stupid the average person is, then realise that half of them are more stupid than that.

It's a sand bike, not a sports bike, Al.

The best thing to do to that is to put a TC185 motor in it, dual range gears with more than ample power would be a welcome benefit.
Two strokes, its just that simple.
