Pete there are about 100 Wassell Trials bikes in the UK along with 100 Wassell MX bikes. The rest of the 900 trials and 900 MX bikes are here in the USA. You bike is rare in its homeland

 

From the information in Don Morleys Classic Two Stroke British Trials Bikes there werr 1000 Wassel Trials bikes made as well as 1000 MX bike that were sold here in the USA under the Tyran name. 90% of the bikes came here to the USA. The frames were designed by Jim Lee of Dalesman fame. They were soon unprofitable due to the currency fluctuations of the 70's as Sachs engines became too expensive because of the rising german currancy. The Wassels in my view are the best looking trials bikes eve built. I have one of the Tyran MX bikes and a Dalesman Scout Enduro bike and would love to have one of the trials bikes. I friend of mine has some nice ones and exhibited them at the Baltimore motorcycle show. Looking for a good Tyran/ Wassel tank if any one has one . Thanks
