This Champion framed bike originally was put
together
by Don Vesco for Motocrosser Murray Huffman
to get his novice points in 1974. The engine, a 1971
TD2-B was laying around Vesco's shop for a
couple of years after it had powered Don to a
189.529
MPH 250cc Streamliner record in 1972.
The bike was latter sold to a gentleman who trail
rode it in Baja for many years. The owner was
going to replace the Yamaha with a Rotax and somehow
a call to Don lead to a saving of a
milestone racer from the early 70's. Don passed the
bike on to former road racer Mark Seifried
to restore and add to his collection of Yamaha
racers.
I am told by Mark Seifried
that this bike was Murray Huffmans Junior bike put together by
Don Vesco and one of two factory Husky flat trackers.
How many XR's do you think
