1979 Can-am Mx-5 on 2040-motos

Up for auction is my 1979 Can-Am MX-5 370.  This bike DOES NOT HAVE A TITLE.  NO TITLE. Not sure if it ever had one. I am more familiar with japanese bikes, so please bear with me on this one.  According to the previous owner the bike started as a MX-5 250, frame number is 8964000097.  Supposedly it came from a family of Can-Am enthusiasts. Daniel, James and Bond Way are the names he gave me.  He claimed he purchased the bike from them. One of them raced this bike in the AHRMA and had great success with it. He said it has a 370 bottom end with a 400 top end, and a lightened and modified flywheel. Supposedly the engine was rebuilt within the past few years by Bond Way.  Again I am only going by what I was told, and I have no receipts or documentation.  Hopefully someone looking here has seen the bike and could fill me in.  

This bike is a Race Bike, it isn't a show bike.  However with that being said it still presents nice.  A cool, un-restored race bike from the 70's.  Looks like it's had some paint touch up here and there over the years.  In perfect condition to keep on racing.  Or perform an easy restoration to make it a show bike.

Bike fires right up and runs good.  Has a ton of compression.  Typical big bore air cooled characteristics, noisy and vibrates.  Runs just like the 84 CR500, and 83 RM500 I had, although it starts much easier.  Power wise, it flat out rips.  Literally picks the front end up with a blip of the throttle in the first 4 gears.  The amount of low end torque is amazing.  This bike is a handfull, I can't imagine trying to hang on while racing it.  The Bing carb is set up perfectly.  Idles perfect, and throttle response is spot on. Doesn't load up and it hardly smokes even with a 32:1 ratio.  Only engine numbers I can find are 6213130 and 6213963 on the cylinder and 6212345 on the lower right of the crankcase.   

Aluminum swingarm, not sure if it's from a later model or if it's aftermarket, but it fits like a factory one.  Remote mounted reservoir KYB rear shocks from an RM, non leaking and feel great.  New matching tires front and rear.  Recent RK chain and sprocket specialties sprockets.  Nice Sun rims with no broken or missing spokes.  Original and un-bent handlebars.  Custom seat, newer plastic, pro circuilt silencer with new packing. Not actually made for this model but fits like it. 

I recently purchased the bike with the intentions of trail riding it.  However I just can't get used the left hand kicker.  It drives me nuts.  Fires right up if you can kick it correctly. Plus it has too much power for me to trail ride.  I think I will just stick with my little RM125

Buyer to pay for shipping and shipping company has to pick it up at my house.  $100 paypal deposit at end of auction, full payment by cash upon pickup or a money order/cashiers check.  Check will have to clear into my bank account before the bike leaves my posession.

Again if you have any info on this cool bike pleae share, or if you have any questions just ask. Thanks
