Ducati engined CONDOR A350 Swiss Army bike on eBay

The Swiss Army rode these Ducati scrambler engined Condor A350's from '73 to '78, making about 3000 in total. The motors had reduced compression for reliability with dodgy fuel and the aluminium sprayed steel exhaust was heavily baffled and almost silent - considerably reducing the output but hey, that's what you want when you're fighting against.... who did the Swiss fight again ?
The engine is rubber mounted, and even the spark plug cap is Olive Drab ! If only I had a farm....

This unit is on eBay, being sold off from the Australian Motorcycle Museum in Haigslea QLD. Here's the link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/190630667342?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_500wt_1361
(I've since seen another for sale in S.A. on bikesales.com.au)

CCM and the classic British scrambler




CCM was one of those small custom bike builers in England that faded away until resurrected in 2004. They have several new models, all with that distinctive chrome tank and classic British style. The motor is from the Suzuki DRZ400.
Thanks to Raptors and Rockets for the info.

While we're on CL72 scramblers.....

lovely CCM style tank & setup.

what is this trend for cafe seats on scramblers ?


Honda retro scramblers - Japanese Customs

This was the piccie that first piqued my interest, and was from a 2001 Japanese bike mag simply called "Wind" (I think). I stupidly threw the mag out, keeping only a few choice pages.

CB72 metalflake retro scrambler / flattracker with a cafe seat and hardtail ?? go figure.
