Ok, I'll take the bullet. I'll say...........KaToom. Seems they had some some baloney slicer 2T's at on time. And for all you who live east of the 'Sippi river, it would be called a Penton. Shoot away.

Dang it. My brother owns a 1983 Can AM 500. We are going to plate the cylinder (after I port it), split the cases and replace the seals and then take it out for a spin. It's a cool bike. I need to get off my can..............

I knew it was a Can-Am.  The rotary valve gave it away.  Year and size were tough, though.  Alright, let's try one of mine.



It's obviously a Husky 390, but can you tell me what thing sets this Husky apart from all the others?  For bonus points, give me the year.

Is this Maico a 440 or only a 400?  Well in all the confusion, I forgot myself.
But considering this is a 1978 Magnum, the best-handling bike in the world, you have to ask yourself one question.
Do you feel lucky, punk?

I found the picture on Google.  And dude... 1983?  Seriously?  Huskies were WHITE in '83.  Anyway, this is a '78, which is identifiable by the frame, which was only used that year.  Next up!


From left-to-right, can you tell the displacement of these three bikes?

Truth be told I'm not a big Husky fan.... nice bikes but not for me. Up until recently I was a died in the wool Jap bike fan, with leaning towards Yamaha's... the past 12 years have cured me of that!!

Now I'm open to bikes from all parts of the world. And I'll take new over old any day! I love looking at those old machines, but would rather ride something built in this decade, thank you very much.
