IT was the nicer bike to ride Bob, slightly wider powerband and more low end for trail work, the PE was an out and out enduro tool. Both were more comfortable to ride than the modern enduro/mx type bikes though, with a seat that actually was comfortable!! :lol:

That's just weird.... BUT, I do know where you are coming from... :-) I wanted a Caballero or Garelli Tiger Cross in 73. I guess I have always been attracted to trail machinery ;-)

My mate had one, never ran great..
I always blew the head gasket (we were using beer mats so was probably the reason)

When it ran was quite quick though.
