Stunning bikes, love em both!

Been watching a few Kaplan Cycles videos and I've got a hankering for an off road bike again - here's their F8: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBBffn-xlDk&t=50s

I used to ride a 75 DT250 enduro and RM370 (plus other off-roaders) back in the mid-70;s and early 80's until the RM370 spat me off and I broke my wrist. :(

I’m mad for anything off road and enduro and that F8 is stunning!
The 1969 H—-a SL350K0 below is in my stable and I’m currently looking for a two stroke buddy for it!

There was an Ossa Yankee 500 street bike on e bay recently. Was tempted.

Thanks for the complements guys, I restored both of them 5-6 years ago when living in the states and NOS parts were in abundance which really helped with the F8! Ossa was a bit harder for parts though. They were in storage for a few years as I moved around a bit so just happy to get them out on show for the first time in a while! I’ve seen a few 350s in UK in shows but never another F8, seem to be fairly rare. I’ve quiet a few extra spares I kept in the hope to find another bike at some point as I wanted to make an F81M replica. Just not found one yet!
