(Clockwise from above) This new Open class MXer from the Italian Cagiva
factory looks like serious moto-iron. Honda's new 750 V-4 appears to use
the same engine as last year, but plays on F-1 imagery and frame technology. The '83 Maicos feature the most radical engine changes since the
first radial finned eng ines in 1972. The primary chain is history. BMW now
has a sporty road-only version of their 800 dual-pupose model. Road tests
said that the 800 trailbike was light and an excellent handler. This one
should be better. This looks like a Yamaha 750, but might be the new
900-4 from the t u ning fork factory. New styling, Piggyback shocks, new
styling and anti-d ive f orks seem to be the main features. This is Ducati 's
350 Pantah. New to the tiddler cla ss will be the Kawasaki GPz305. It
looks like a serio us, but small canyon carv er. Honda's Turbo will be a 650
for the new y ear. Th e KTM 250 M X has undergone radical changes,
including a new engine, seat, swingarm and front fork. Honda w asn't the
only company to bump a 500 twin to 650. Guzzi 's 500 grew also. This is
Honda's all-new air-cooled, V -twin 500 sport model. Wonder if that motor
could be pu nched out to 750 and f itted w ith a dirt track fram el
