The history isn’t boring, it’s facinating! And I attended my (and rp7x) 50th HS reunion last weekend and met up with crazy Larry. He had a 78 Yamaha SRX..He still has his limp….

The B is a narrow (standard track 15”), C is wide track (18”) and a high/low trans.

All those rivets and steel bars have to add some weight to the track! Here is what $500 and $800 buy you in my neck of the midwest.
