dortwilder Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Anyone recognise what bike this is? Doesn't look like a Beta. Mikuni gets another bad rap i guess. Ya! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorpa3 Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 I would say that it's a Gas Gas contact dating from around '96. The odd shape silencer was fitted to the 350 model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterb Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 I think it's earlier than that Scorpa3, looks very much like a 1993 250 Gas Gas with USD forks, we can rebuild it! The fire has charred the rims looking like a black anodized finish. A friend was burned back in the UK when working on his Ossa, wasn't too bad though and he recovered well. It's the fumes that are highly volatile, still there aren't many smokers who ride trials these days, are there? Another friend here in NZ had a garage full of bikes that mysteriously all went up in flames, there was little left of his PRO as he had oxy acetylene bottles in the place that went up too. There was only the frame left, forks and swinging arm melted, and most of the internals of motor where intact. Bye, PeterB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-shock 250 Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Internet forums are great, everyone blame the Mikuni carb, even on a bike fitted with a dellorto! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motojojo Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 A friends '86 Yamaha 350 went up like a camp fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
