There are a few of them in the hoarders thread on the museum. Butler and Strelecki used to race the 990 versions as well. Awesome bikes.  :daumenhoch:

I always knew the 990 challenger as a next gen version as it came out around the same time as the next gen dirtbike and holmes I think if my memory serves me right. its my favourite out of the bunch to be honest and some serious rarity points on them as far as im concerned :slayer:
