Okay, I'm no Dick Tracy but I'm getting the general theme here. Every featured motorcycle on this channel is a real museum piece. And I grin and I love it, so cool to see these classics on display and available for purchase. And while I was never all that big a fan of trials, I certainly respected the genre and I read a lot about the riders and events and bikes in the pages of all those motorcycle magazines back in the Seventies.
Wow, I remember the Bolger suspension. Beautiful bike. I rode the Montesa 348 Malcolm Rathmell Cota in Trials, tricked out with everything Sammy Miller offered for it. Saw my first new MAR Plonker in 1973 as a teen and never forgot it. Very rare today and more so with the Bolger rear end.
I used to race MX here in Australia back in the 70s iv always loved European bikes the Ossa phantom Husqvarna maico montessa they really were the rolls Royce of bike's at the scrambles trials enduro i was a member of the sporting motorcycle club which I represented what amazing memories my favourite rider even though he raced for Suzuki was Roger decoster VIVA MONTESSA all these bikes were easily the world's best
Wow, Bill is a legend!! I remember the Ossa ads and Mick Andrews of course. I had a used '78 TY250 back in the 90's and liked the way you have the option to actually sit down. Plus, it was street legal with a plate. This bike is gorgeous, and I'll bet it's fun to ride. Awesome looking paint job. My dad and I subscribed to several motorcycle mags in the 70's and we kept up on all the latest back then.
I grew up on trials bikes. This woulda been a dream come true.... One of the best looking and sounding vintage trials EVER made. Huge nuts on this bike. RiP to the former owner, he had great taste. Every single inch is drool worthy.
Si que es rara esa suspensión bolger en una ossa de trial. la había visto en una ossa phantom Yo tengo una ossa 250 enduro e73 o "pioneer SDR" como la llamabais en EE.UU. Podéis ver un video en este enlace ruclips.net/video/1bci2tKdrtw/видео.html
Oh wow this video reminded me of my dream. I wrecked on a mountain, climbed down the Clift and carried my bike back to the road.... Seemed so real atthe time. Was definitely a dream.
Get your man here, that EM Race, with the hydraulic clutch, and the full monty, so he can test it properly, first hand. If he's agreeable, He deserves to be Kaplan's Electric Motion expert.... Never know... could be worth the dealership, in your region.... people trying to stop from having the police called, while they are training for championships, or something, just because of the noise.
One day when motorcycle manufacturers wake up from their dream that we all want to be Valentino Rossi all motorbikes will look like this, super simple, light, and very basic and a lot of fun off and on the road, with today's materials, alloys, carbons etc they will be unbreakable and if made in China very cheap, so we can all have one for weekends, the Chinese are getting close with some bikes they are making now like the XL 250 copies, but someone needs to look back to the future, they will be market leaders instantly, we can see it how can't the manufacturers see it, imagine something like this new today for sale @ £3K'ish . . .what colour do you want sir, all of them . .
China makes the worst stuff. Their titanium is really butter and their carbon is really glass. Companies should be making kick-start super Motos but with 19" wheels like a real man. (flat track).

I grew up on trials bikes. This woulda been a dream come true.... One of the best looking and sounding vintage trials EVER made. Huge nuts on this bike. RiP to the former owner, he had great taste. Every single inch is drool worthy.

Stunning bike, with an unfortunate name, if you are British. What a bike! You can hear the torque, in that engine!
Beautiful Bike. I've never seen a trials bike in my life, before I started watching this channel. 😁

All the old frames from the 70’s had so much in common

any of the bikes from Jim Hollerich's museum should carry a 25% premium just for being in the hands of that great man. wb

Juapa ossa
wow what a sweet little bike the only thing that would make it better is if it was in my driveway lol have a great day
Guys you need to contact Mick Andrew’s and get him to visit you. That’s an experience where you’ll get great video.
♥ ossa
We love that bike!
Первый раз вижу!!! Удивил!!!
Factory Billy....legend 💥
Wow a jake brake.....

Kaplan America? The universal church of Dirt Bikes, thanks for all revivals, we can see for such a long time…🇫🇷😎👍
Huh...I have a Bell helmet that's a couple years old and it has those stripes, same colors and thickness, around it. Interesting.
Piece of art
Beauty!!!
The 250 sold for 8500.00 auction what will this go for any guess
Oh wow this video reminded me of my dream. I wrecked on a mountain, climbed down the Clift and carried my bike back to the road.... Seemed so real atthe time. Was definitely a dream.
Omg a super beautifully running unicorn
so much like the KT250
A KT250 is like the Ossa.
😍🍀🎨
Send it to me and I'll test it for you , and I'll try not
to scratch it.
Thanks from NOR-CAL.

what did this sell for?
WOW THAT SPEEDOMETER PLACEMENT IS AMAZING 😲 NEVER SEEN THAT... tac on the hood of a muscle car stuff.
Is there a way to tell if you need to let an air-cooled bike cool off? I like them I'm just always thinking I'd damage it.
