Harry Everts’ Legendary Twin Carb Puch 250 – The 1975 World Championship Bike
Interesting but painful to watch!
I remember seeing that bike at the Primm museum in Vegas, I’m boycotting the International mx museum and I’m not sure why….Actually I’m mancotting the joint….
Here's the Primm Puch with its two carbs and Bobby with his one leg.
It can be if you are not interested on the technical aspects.......or have add, I could see that.
Could be argued that it is one of the most "Works" bikes to win a championship.

I would imagine there was homologation rules back in the day, so has anyone seen a Twin Carb in the wild ?
They are out there -- the replica models, that is. Not quite as cobby as Everts' championship bike. The Mungenast Museum outside St. Louis has one on display. Very cool bike -- so advanced for its time.
I don't know that there were homologation requirements in the mid 70s works bike era, These were available to the public, but they were really expensive as I recall, very limited production for maybe one year, and there were not a lot of Puch dealers in the US. I don't ever recall seeing many Puchs, let alone this one, in the wild back locally and can't recall if anyone raced one in the US pro series.
It seemed like about 20 years ago, when the internet made it easier to connect, crated models popped up from time to time. I don't think the one at Primm ever touched dirt.
No homo rules back then. Honda had Open class Works bikes for 5 or 6 years before a production Open class Honda came out in 1981.
No homologation rules ever in FIM motocross as far as I can recall. If it’s the correct cc, not under weight or over the sound limit, you can ride what you liked.
Not sure about modern rule book but certainly no homologation/production requirement.
👆Judging from the seat, that's Everts on the Suzuki
