I was out riding around yesterday and I came across a Tecate setting up
under an old shed.Not for sure on the year model couldn't get real close to it.
The radiator look to be mounted by the triple clamps and it had a big front tire.
I stopped to ask about it but the owner wasn't home.
before I check into it any further I had a few questions...
--any clue as to what year model this is? ( I am guessing 85??? )
--are parts still available?
--think it is worth looking into?
thanks

Teaching quads a lesson
same tires different front brake set ups. 84 is drum and has gold rims, the 85 is disc and has silver rims. just a forewarning, they are a very fast bike, with an unpredicatble powerband sometimes. hahaha.

Faster then your aircooled R. Accelerate very quickly. Its a race bike at heart with some provisions for trail riding that the designers cobbled together.
Great fun, nice suspension and very hard hitting power.

as far as outrunning my R ,I beat them before years and years ago at the
track . I don't have anything to prove anymore...
but if the situation arises,I will shortly have my 3oo kit and other goodies
installed
