What you need, of course, is a SB2
I asked the question on OSS forum and the opinion is an early Ducati |

Gt550 is in the running I guess Geekay although never owned or ridden a two stroke since the fsie... problem with early ducati's is price. 1970's 750 or 900ss are running into the 20k now and above _________________ Pomps
