That not the first time a road been put into mx frame, Neil Cole in Colac owns a bike like that, his is a 650 engine mounted in a
73 mx frame, and it runs very well, and looks like it was built in the yamaha factory.

It's actually that particular road bikes stock frame cradle with other hang on bits added.
 and seriously it's a TX500 one of Yamaha's rare crappy failures.  :o


Strange concept, what would make you do that to make a VMXer??? ...  ;) lol  Tim754
