I can tell you that it has M Slakewell written all over it....cool bike, has 38mm forks for your large frame, I think the swingarms and frames where made by Pro-Fab or someone like that ....I could be wrong, I was once....definately  a cool bike....get santa to buy it for you.

The alloy arms were built by Thor for Canam afaik, the frames made in-house. The engine doesn't have a lot of over rev std - often found that the jap 125's would pull better uphill. The bike fell off the pipe on a cold start climb but was quick in a drag race anyway. Steer well though. Braking is OK too as the they aren't trying to pull up a bigger engine. The 125 didn't sell well but not a bad thing anyway.

I knew there was a tie up somewhere with one of the aftermarket builders...cool bike. I'm sure with what we know now you could get one of those engines flying.
