Modified 85 M-Star with plumbing blocked off and air cooled barrel. I notice some twin shock mounts, perhaps set up for Evo. I'm sure there was a complete bike very similar doing the rounds.

A sense of DeJa Vu.

If I had the coin I'd be on it.

Let's face it some dirt bikes were never meant to be ridden.

I'm not surprised it sold.  The reed valve barrel would be worth the money by it's self.

I don't know what the other parts were, but I'd suggest someone who lived nearby probably bought it.
