rupsol Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 New member so go easy - saw and dribbled over the bikes at Stoneleigh at the weekend. Bought back a lot of memories of younger days and my love for the ef's. I built the this back in the late 90's - sold it for peanuts (the bandits had just come out and nobody wanted them) - It then appeared on Eblag last year and I pissed around and didn't buy it back....the wife's fault. Any one on here own it now? It was quick - it ran 10.6 at Longmarston if I remember. Love to get her back... 2 Quote
Swiss Toni Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 Nice clean looking bike. Should have kept hold of it. Welcome to OSS. Quote

That pic was from the Eblag add last year - when I had it it had a yellow frame and wheels - forks were black and the cam cover was blue (no taste back then) - it had 60k on the motor even then - smoked a little on the overrun but still went well. Have never found abike since with that sort of torque 1 Quote

K.H.I Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 It's a great time to source efe donks due to the current fashion of fake air cooled bikes. Ive not long swapped a cheapo, shitty blandit lump for a "tired old boat anchor" EF motor, that's turned out to be immaculate. Quote
