Yes and just as illegal. Is there any Evo legal bikes that used the Rotax's motor. The 84 KTM had single shock rear end and the Can AM Sonic had a disc brake. Unless the assembler of this bike was/is a manufacturer it is not OEM.

Why would this bike not be Evo class legal ? An '82 Can Am Sonic came from the factory with a 500cc Rotax motor, front and rear drum brakes and twin shocks.

My apology the only Can Am Sonic I have seen had a front disc brake.
