Have to admit I was never a fan of the JCMs. Always remember Birkett riding one at the Scottish and it sounding "as rough as a badger's" on the final sections on the Ben - 1988?

Anyway, w.r.t. the video, was the 323 seriously a mono version as early as '83? Would this have made it the first PRODUCTION mono? Always thought the TY was the first production mono in '84.

I think that the 323 was the first production mono shock trials bike, in may 1983 just before the beta. I Have been over to France and see the order book. My 323 was made 17 aug 1983. I would be to see if there is a date for the beta?

I thought the mono Betas were just after the Yam in 1985, i.e.:
TR32 - 1985
TR33 - 1986
TR34 - 1987

Interesting about the JCM, though.
