No sir, it's every bit as kick ass as it looks.
Just impossible to find parts for.

I ran into someone with one of those on the trail about 6 months ago during a poker run.  Should have asked if I could take it for a ride :)

I think the black hose is the air boot.
yes they were mostly ridden in places with a general lack of trees.

The thing I keep looking at on that bike though, is the POS swing arm.  That thing is so thin and small for being made in the 90s.  The 70s bikes had stronger swing arms!  Worse than a china bike!  They might as well have just put two brake rods and bolted shocks to it.  And then the big smack in the face "Made in the USA" written on it.  Doesn't even look like you can adjust the rear tire, it's just stationary in a single place!

Don't be mislead by that swingarm,it is made of a very high grade of chrome moly steel.Horst Leitner is an Austrian mechanical engineer with an extensive I.S.D.E. background and is the person who created ATK (anti torque kettenrad).

A friend of mine had both a 250 and 406 ATKs and,as usual,I ended up maintaining the bikes.I liked the 250 a lot more - the suspension had been revalved and the motor vibrated a lot less. ;D
