wow this Sachs must have some power !!

or this one

Sachs makes all kinds of stuff. The one that always sticks in my head is the 303cc Wankel in the 1969 Arctic Cat Panther snowmobile. They made a Wankel chainsaw in 1975.

There was also a Sachs Wankel lawnmower.

Now that is back when they made real cycles. Todays cycles have plastic parts hanging all over them. I will not own a plastic looking cycle for sure. I started out with a Indian Scout. I still have a couple photos of it. Some of the Big BSA singles were my favorite. I lived right near a club that had Hill climbing events. Capt,n

Man, I've seen some of those motorcycle hill climbs. Those guys are NUTS!!!

And I thought I was "wild and crazy"...

If you do I'll hunt you down and HURT you. I want it - in the bike frame please. What year is it? Just beautiful.

I'm with RAMJET. How much?

This BSA is a fast one. This hill climb is within 3/8 mile of where I lived for 40 years! I worked for the club that put the races on. Capt,n

Captin,
I work with the one of the guys who was responsible for putting on this years hill climb in Muskegon. It's been about ten years since I've been to the one out at Bridgeton. Lot's of memories.

My Yamaha 102 cu inch Road Star is all steel - very little plastic and it runs a heck of a lot smoother than those old BSA, Triumph twins. BIG GRIN.

I wish I had that Sachs. Looks like lots of fun.

Quite a few of the guys that raced Flat Track and did hill climbs, ended up beiing National champ riders. The Bridgeton flat track race is a neat thing to see. That jump really puts them bikes way up in the air and soon as they land is a downhill turn to the right. All the rest of the track is left hand turns. I whish I had a dollar for every time I took about all the cycles I owned around that track! Capt,n

To cannibalize either would be a shame.

The first,I think is a semi-rare British Tyran 125,Similar in quality to DKW’s,Penton’s,and Rickman’s. The “Good Stuff” from the ‘70’s .

The second is a Coleman mini cycle with a 2+hp. Sachs 50cc,2-speed auto trans,if I remember right.
Had one in a little bitty Arctic-Cat as a kid.Later swapped in a Kaw 90cc ,5 speed rotary valve motor into that one.The "converted" little "Arctic-Kaw"as we called it was a torque monster,it would power wheely just off idle... :-) Bro still has it.

Collectors would get a pretty penny for those Tyran,or Coleman examples on the ‘Bay.
