I'd take it without blinking. (although i can't be arsed to check the prize now, i wouldn't pay silly money for it)
Those big ones are f**ing beasts! Although, the favorite would be an aircooled Honda. A 1984 model but upgraded with sm-wheels and usd forks etc. That would be crazy! Razz

My dad had a Husqvarna wr400 from 85 i think. Pretty ugly but it was fast and powerful. Went about 160km/h.
If you stood 4 meters behind the thing, you could easily feel the "puffs" from the exhaust and the clothes kind of flapped for each time it ignited.

My friend had new white pants and he was pushing the bike when we should start it, and so the thing started and spit out a load of 2-stroke oil on his white pants. Laughing
