That pic was taken when it was 23 years old. The headers were just re-installed after buffing them and installing new header gaskets at the collector. Plus the threads on the exhaust stubs of the heads and collar nuts were cleaned and a fresh coat of anti-seize was applied.
My daily driver cars look like that after 15 years. Pride and passion.
I do and used to run TZ250s around some tracks near here. I'm a 2-stroke addict. Even had a TZ500 for a year. An armada of RDs,RZ 350/500s, and a TZR250 for the street. Now I only ride in the dirt; MX and trails (Getting old..)
If that Honda were a 500 and four-cylinder, I might have taken it over the Gamma.
That was when I got into my second life in motorcycling. In fact I almost went for a GSXR 1100 at the time, but I chose light and nimble instead. On the track a good Gamma rider could easily keep up to or beat a GSXR 750.
My Gamma went to a buyer in Florida which paid for my 1990 BMW R100 GS that I bought new in 1991, still have and will never sell. Best motorcycle I have ever had and have never looked back. Same for my other BMW GSes.
And despite the condition of a "Garage Queen", my GS has been on quite a few week-plus long tours. Still MINT 25 years later. Specialty cleaners help.
