Enjoy!

Nice! I was born in 82, but as a teenager I inherited a gold super burner! Wish I still had it now!
82? jesus christ I'm old! remember lusting after a super tuff burner circa 1984?, we were all 12/13 year olds razzing round town (much like bmx kids now). y'know Steven down the road has got an ultra burner?, ooooohhhh!! I got one up on 'em all and got a GT freestyler pro eventually (I learnt how to save). I couldn't do any tricks, but I had the best bike in my small town. I was 13. I think I'm over it.
crikey, 25.5 lbs for top of range machinery. Retro cool
i have a smaller catalogue with the night burner in it. i will look it out some day and scan.
i had that catalog !!, wow,
i ended up buying a broken red burner frame from a friend then re-brazing it and that was my first bmx 😀
i later added a chrome burner to the list with a laid back post, TW bars , oval chrome forks, ohhhhh the days,
currently lusting after a Sundays model C 24'', thats my mid life crisis, wife said no more mountain bikes, i have 4, she didn't say no bmx though 😛
Aah memories! I would like to see the other catalogue with the night Burner etc too. It was the team Burner I always lusted after, but didn't have a hope of getting.
i had a night burner,
awesome , I had the red and yellow Burner and then one that isn't in there, it was black and red and had ovalised or teardrop tubes. I remember the leather brake pads too!
ultra burner owner and knew John Lee who was sponsored by them and built a track in his dad quarry quality times. Broke it though...walked away though just.
Burners were 5hit. Team Murray's with Lester mags were where it was at.
Great thread cheers for posting the brochure, great memories.
I had a Super Burner it was ace 😀
I really wanted some black mag wheels for it but my Dad said no 🙁
That's why I pimped every bike from then on just 'cause I can 😆
My mate had an Ammaco and that was uber cool.
I dreamed of getting a burner. Then my parents bought me a "unisex" shopper instead. bastards. I even used to leave cut out images of blue and yellow burners around the house for them...
Spunking bundles on lots of bikes now Im older is my therapy.
Ah yes, my best mate had a team Murray with those mags , I always loved the coaster rear brake
Only problem was you needed jeff capes to help you bunny hop the thing.
Ultra Burner owner here. I snapped it and got an MRD which is still sitting in my Dad's shed.
I intend to recondition it when my daughter is old enough, sometimes you wish you had a son. Aahh Scalextric.
I had a red and yellow Burner. It was a great machine. Although I could never mend a puncture and my dad bent a fair few spoon trying to get the tires off... That pleased my mum no end 😛
I Had the red and yellow Burner, snapped the frame. While waiting for a warranty replacement I bought a DP delta 2, then a Haro Group1 which I still have.
Dunaspie,
I had a Firebird which the chrome fell off and I had a Delta 2 under warranty. Mate down the road had a Firebird Freestyler.
That brings back memories.
I can't believe the weight of the things though
Raleigh extra burner. Sweet.
Was the Extra Burner not a homage / straight rip off of the Kuwahara's they used in ET? Whatever happened to Kuwahara?
I lusted after an Aero Burner as I flicked through the pages of BMX Action Bike. GTs and Skyways were what the rich kids had. 😀
yep, extra burner was a total rip of the kuwahara ET, we got to stop this thread or i may own a retro bmx by the end of the day, and a divorce
Excellent stuff! Had a Burner GS in metallic silver myself.
Kuwahara are making bikes again, as are Diamond Back.
They aren't that heavy though are they? My mate had a KHE flatland bmx snd it was over 30lb. You could go through walls with it though.
Can anyone remember what the Burner with teh oval/teardrop tubes was called?
Aero Burner.
I've still got a Burner, the one with the yellow mags.
Ultimate cool bike.
