    Wow, this is a confusing bike. Looks like part of an x-light frame, plastic and swingarm but with a XR 600 (?) motor and twin shocks grafted on the single shock swingarm. Drum brakes and XR fork. What a confusing mess. Anyone got info on this thing?

    More like an 84 twinshocker with modern plastics and Honda power.
    Note the wheels forks brakes...
    But modern swingarm and pivot....
    Weird

    I wonder where it's from. The dude with the Airoh helmet makes me say EU, but the transports in the backgound makes me say states

    DR600 engine, I think. Upwards of that, they are missing the KS? - but, this could have as much as or more than, 800cc internals.

    Just typical of Twin Shock class ingenuity.

    As for the "transports" etc - Europe - well everywhere, is full of big 18 wheelers with awnings and all sizes down from that. Been that way for decades.

    That pic come from the vets mxdn held at Farleigh Castle here in the UK I think !!
    Over the weekend you get to see quite a few odd ball creations like that, I thought it had a Maico front end but could be wrong.
    There are people/companies turning out all sorts, You can go and buy a brand new hand made brazed nickle plated twin shock frame and swingarm to fit what ever form of power plant that takes your fancy such is the demand for this ever growing event.
    The best racing and a fantastic group of people / spectators I have ever seen and some of the bikes are a joy to look at such is the workmanship put into some of the builds.
