Not rare or collectible just yet, but they seem to be moving in that direction.

Dr BIg that MT is a great find.

I will always automatically associate these MT's to Yokohama "SuperDigger" tyres, just a 70's connotation for me personally.

Speak to me when you do the MT. I have a lot of spares and a virtually complete bike in boxes. Spare tanks, exhausts etc.

Sjoe, dit bring baie memories terug. Ek het so een in Windhoek gehad, was my eerste GROOT bike. RAM air system opgehad.  Ek het daai jare n Honda XL 250 gehad en toe die 550 gekoop. Man daai dinge het flippen geloop dat hy bars.

I rebuilt a 74 gt550 in early 90s. Motor had the chrome barrels and was shot so I bought a complete motor unseen from a chap in JHB even with new pistons for R500! A bargain of note.

All I have left are some ignition keys.

Great thread!  Keep them coming.  Today I really regret selling those bike's I owned in the '80's.  Great to see the old-school stuff on this thread - unfortunately I'm clueless when it comes to operating a spanner and the mere idea of restoring an old bike makes me tremble.  Would love to have the skills you guys have - well done on keeping the old stuff alive  :)
