It's weird that one person can have two Mugens, and recently I saw that some dude I've never heard of has a white Johnny O' Mugen in Europe.

Is there a Mugen dealership I'm not aware of? WTF? The AMA Heritage museum doesn't even have one as far as I know.

What's next? Monet art in a Pahrump mobile home? It's weird where stuff ends up. But what do I know?

(no disrespect , Newmann but TWO??? Really?)

The AMA sucks though. Smile There's a lot that they don't have.

There were around 200 of the 80 models produced and and whole lot of watercooled kits plus spare parts that had to be offered. I've got a Mugen parts list for the bikes and every single part of the bike has a part number to order replacement parts. I know a few people that bought up a lot of that. Besides, when you are piecing something together from spares and leftover bikes and parts, I guess you could paint it any color you wanted to. I have no idea of the actual history behind my bikes so I can't claim anything other than them being what they are. I have a few friends here in the states with red ones they had shipped over from Europe.

Monet's in Pahrump? Not sure about that, but not far from there, one can find a huge stash of Mugen stuff. Now that guy has an addiction....LOLLaughing

And the guy I bought the most recent one from? Wow, his collection of bikes was just damn amazing.I actually wanted this one a little more, but it wasn't available, or affordable!

Joe,
Is that Chris' s 83 CR125? I almost bought that bike a few months ago if it is. On another note my buddy raced the Kehoe bike at the Texas pro challenge in + 25 A. He said the works suspension was better than the A-Kit stuff he has raced with in the past and he said the motor was super fast. He said he felt like he could of won but the day before in the first 450 pro moto he had a bad get off in tbe rhythm section and broke his ankle and popped his knee out. Im going to race it in a few weeks. If you ever want to ride it let me know and ill come back to Rio Bravo.

No, that's an actual Honda RC250 works bike. Air tunneled to the airbox through the lowboy tank, monocoque airbox/subframe and all the trickery the engineers at the race shop could throw at a bike. Cha-Ching$$$Smile I would have made an attempt to buy it, but the RC500 broke me!
