Hey.  I'm from Qld and I think it stinks.  Don't blame us!
Apparently you can only ride one bike at a time, and hence you should only have one bike.  :(

Gee, a tough room to play to  :-[.

The question is never 'why' but rather 'Why not' ;) ;D.

From what I can see it's a pretty tidy Hybrid.

I like hybrid's, but it's obvious here that he gave up trying to find a water pump cover for the CR and went with something that has parts in abundance.

My hybrids have all been a necessity of budget...
First was an RD350A in a YZ frame followed by an XT500 in the same frame (road licensed too  ;D)
Second was an XL185 in a RM125A roller
Third was a RZ350 in an RG250 roller (both aquired by insurance auction)
and.... does a TS125 powered steel bathtub/trike count?

I have a Honda roller, what Honda motor do I have? :-\
I have built a few hydrids in my time 76 CR125 with a XL125 motor (built 1981) bored to 145, 80 PE250 with a DR370 motor (built 1982), 79 RM125N with a PE250 motor (built 2006), the two 125's went the best by far.

But this thing is just plain sad :-[ I would be embarrassed to put it up for sale.
