    Justintendo, that is a CR...look at the power valve on the cilinder...
    Maybe TWSNIKLAS knows the frame number....
    The rear brake is different, the pedal brake is different...I have one like that...look the difference...

    Factory works bikes did not have standard production numbers unless they were not prototypes and were truly production based.

    Last days the Factory in Sweden used different parts to put together as more bikes as possible to sell them, make money and try to survive...
    That why that specific one looks like a mix of WR, XC and CR...
