From the April 1988 issue of Cycle World. Scanned and presented here because it is just so beautiful. Ron Wood built dirt trackers in the 1970s as a hobby, by the 80s he had sold his business and was building flat trackers based on the Rotax 600. This bike was his foray into roadracers and should probably be posted above anyone workbench who thinks he would like to make a custom bike.

Now this is something you don't see everyday. Can't be many of these beauties left.
The article suggested 50 were made, but I have not found any actual production figures. Hopefully someone will add that info!
I believe 16 total frames were built.
believe it or not when i was 15 years old my school backpack was full of car and motorcycle magazines instead of school books now age 50 I finally i finally tracked down the bike I stared at in hopes to own this bike someday. to remember this Woods Rotax sj600 has been on my mind since the day this issue came in the mail. its really cool to read this article again so many years later.
