Two cylinder? I believe it had only one cylinder but two carbs: one feeding a rotary valve and the other piston port.

One classic bike.

1958 BSA Goldstar 500 (My Dad's. I learned to ride that bike when I was 10 in 1965. Couldn't even touch the ground. At 14 I won my first trophy in my first MX race in 1972. I still have that trophy. A lot of memories with that bike.)

Two production bikes I would want are:

1981 RM125 (The most comfortable bike on a track I ever rode. Didn't own one but rode a buddies and I never felt so good on a bike as I did that day. Fastest rider I ever saw ride a production one was Danny Magoo Chandler.)

1993 CR250 (MC was right, that bike was just about perfect. I loved the power band on that bike.)

Works bike I would have to say there are two also:

1971 RH71 Suzuki 250 (Joel Roberts as mentioned earlier. Most beautiful bike ever in my eyes.) 

Image 2

Here is my copy of Robert's 250 when I had a 73 Suzuki TM 250.

1986 RC500 Honda 500 (Dave Thorpe's. I got to see it up close in Namur in 85 and Luxembourg the following weekend.)

I'm going for a street legal XR650r. Blinged out, prepped for Baja, with one of those nice big 8" lights on the front.

Hey Mav, I don't  really remember much about that bike.  Aside from full factory Japan, were there some quirks making it so special?

After reading the choices, I think this website needs to be renamed  "CheckTheirVitalsMX"!  

Anyway, I am waiting to get my hands on a new TM 300 4s.

I'm sure there's more, but I think it had the following year's bike cylinder and sand cast cases. It's a trick bike.
