Busted a headlight, so I took the other one off, broke the case saver off, busted the front bumper mounts when I smacked a tree. It's been around lol

I don't get like that anymore. Don't climb big hills either, I've learned my lesson lol.
If this is true. . . Do NOT spend anymore money modifying it. I have had big bore two strokes, big bore four strokes, and everything in between in regards to dirt bikes. I ride my 200cc KTM faster than any of the bigger bikes I've had. Modifying or buying bigger bikes does NOT always make one faster. Some of the guys saw me ride at the TOO gathering. My "little" 200 gets me around just fine. There have been studies done on throttles of professional motocross racers who ride big bores. It was found the majority could hold the throttle wide open for no more than a fraction of a second. I suppose if the same study was done on desert racers it might be different. Point being, even pros can't pin that throttle wide open for long.
Hill climbs? LOVE them! That is on 2 wheels though. I wouldn't want to do much hill climbing on a quad either.

It doesn't need anymore power but I am kinda partial to the two pipes sticking out the back
I have owned about 100 over the past 45 yrs. First one, a 1962 Harley Topper scooter, then a BSA Bantam. The oldest, a 1937 Indian Sport Scout. Presently a bunch of early 70's yam enduros from a JT1L to RT3, a TY250, a Matador and Pursang 360, a super rat, a 56 Harley Hummer, newest is 1986 Honda Trail 110.
I bought these two as a pair. Cleaned both of them up, got them running, and sold the Triumph Trident. I kept the Norton Commando because I liked it a little better and I felt it was a better long term investment. Seems I might be correct. My buddy was at an auction within the last two weeks. A 1973 Commando brought $7000. He said it was not as clean as mine and wasn't sure if it ran. Mine has 8400 miles on it now. I need to get it out this year and put some miles on it.
