Hey Grado
Look at the size of that jug!
King Scorpian?
That’s a 75/76 Cappra. The motocrosser. Prob a 250.
75/76 was the first year of long travel suspention.
A lot of manufacturers got longer travel by laying the shocks down on the rear.
Some say this this makes this bike not a truly vintage bike. Up till and including 1974 most bikes has 6 inches up front and 4 inches in the back.
Some say not true, it having twin shocks and drum brakes qualifies it as vintage.
Either way, imho, that right there is one of, if not the best looking dirt bikes ever produced.
I’d love to have that one.
Don’t care what the misses would say.
I’d hang that one on the living room wall.
