Ernie, the D3R is a 1996 model and is Martin's own in house knock off of the D 35 but costs $1,059.00 bucks instead of $3,000.00. My neighbor in W.Va. had a 200cc Bultaco motocrosser, it was fast and he was fast, when he went around the mx track it looked like he was out for a Sunday cruise except he would be half a race track ahead of the 2nd place guy I rode a MAICO in the mid 70's, loved it. I attended a qualifier mx race in Mid Ohio and got to see Pierre Karsmaker, Zdeneck Velke, Juaraslav Falta, Rodger Decoster, Ake Johnson and others. There were guys flying control line in the parking lot between heats. I'm sure I messed up Karsmakers name. Nope I got it right. WHen it cvomes to suspension I learned fro mx that more suspension travel is better so My sportster wears 13.5" shocks on the rear in lieu of the stock 11.75's.
BA, you have a sweetheart of an engine in that .26, hang onto it.
