Hubert Rigal's (France) 1967 (not 1966) Lilac R92 Magnum. Here is a 4mb PDF with 44 of Mr. Rigal's excellent photos. This was the last Magnum built and was constructed from the earliest frame, F9-0600 (presumably the prototype) and the last motor (R2-0786). Note that the Electra's fatter cylinders were used. This bike, along with Electra F9-1119, was imported by Paul Lavedèze motorcycles in Paris in late 1967. A distributorship was planned, but Lilac went bankrupt before that came to pass. Photos by Mr. Rigal.

Four views of Dale Kuykendall's 1965 Marusho ST,
frame number F9-0400. Dale completed the project in the summer of
1998 and reported that it is fast, reliable and sounds good.
He used a BMW magneto, which can be seen through the window on the
engine front cover, and made a variety of other innovative
modifications.
