Can you name the bike??

[Helmut Clasen]

Hello Helmut,
I'm almost 1.93 metres in height (6-5).The reason that I pursuaded Horst to give me the Ceriani's is that the forks had 13mm more travel then the Zoke's and far superior action.These Ceriani's were special forks that he had on a Sachs MC250 and the travel exceeded that of the stock Marzocchis. On a different subject,where did you get that reed cylinder?

Somebody on the German Offroad forum offered the cylinder.I talked to him and we made a deal.What came was a reed cylinder where somebody with the wrong tools pulled the liner out and made the inner diameter oval plus they cracked one fin.(the bugger never told me that.)
I send the cylinder and a new 250 Piston to a company in Quebec,asking them to,fabrikate a new sleeve,port it and fit to the piston and mentioned my dream would be Nicasil.
They called me and said,no Nicasil on top of a SLEEVE,but they had to weld the inner bore anyway to get it round,so why not adding some more layers of alu welding,bore it,port it and Nicasil it to fit.
I was in heaven,they did,(they welded the cracket fin over beautyfully) and I have a REED-NICASIL Cylinder.Works like a charme.

I understand that Sachs for its 250 MC -5  fabricated a few reed cylinders using Honda reeds,shortly before they closed the off road division.
This cylinder is a original Sachs cylinder,not changed over from a standard one.
