That 250 motor could have been the goods if it had gone into production. The cassette style removable transmission wasn't so much an innovation as the adaption of someone else's good idea. Unit Triumphs have a removable "slide out" transmission. The swingarm on the other bike has a Karl Landrus look about it ;D.

I wonder when that 250 was built, although Rokon & Yankee had it, the rear disc was a couple of years ahead of its time for a modern/competitive (for the time) motocrosser.
