I love'em as well. I've built a few over the years and I still have a couple underway now. In the past I've built:
* An XL 250 powered Maico
*XL 350 powered CZ.
*XL 350 powered  Montesa King Scorpion/Cappra.
*Triumph 500 powered Bultaco M11 (Metisse). I also had a DT1 engine in that bike but it now is restored with the proper Bully engine.
*Triumph powered Cotton Cobra (now refitted with a Villiers engine)
*My DT1 from Hells frame is has the front half of an OSSA Stilleto frame grafted to the original Yamaha rear half.
I'm currently working on the Maico trials bike hybrid, Ducati powered Hindall and have a 650 Benelli engine destined for my Trackmaster flat tracker that originally held a Triumph engine.

Within the Klub Kevlar Network there is Edgar Phipps legendary 480cc XL powered Elsinore, his historic Triumph powered BSA (tribsa), Alan Jones' Yoshimura SL125 Honda powered Rickman Zundapp, and Peter Rowlands Yamaha MX250 powered Maico, all of which will be on display in the Kevlar Kompound at CD5.
Below is Jonseys trick little Yoshi SL125 Honda powered Rickman while under construction. It's now dripping in bling!

RM125 with XL185 engine
RG250 with RZ350 engine

and for eventual completion TM125 with TS185 engine

I don't know what it is about hybrids that's so cool, I love 'em too.
Only ever done one myself.
Had a spare PE250 chassis and a spare XT200 engine so they came together just because it was a cheap way to get a new bike and I had nothing better to do with my time.
Some hybrids were obviously built with a purpose in mind, like Mark's XL/CZ and Buddy's KX500/450 (which is just magnificent!) but others are just wrong................... 
And Mark, I've seen that photo of the XL/Rickman a few times. How about one of the finished product?

Tony, the bike has been sitting in the condition in the photograph for two years while Alan pursued other projects. Now with CD5 coming and the CCM project falling behind, he decided to finish the little Rickman for CD5. I was over at his place last Sunday and I had to put my Raybans on, the little bike was so blingy!. I'll run off some shots at CD5.

I like the Hybrids also

We have a 74 / 75 Cr /WR 250 Husky , fitted with a side port XL 250 motor.

It go's well and is complete , however it is very  rough and requires a good old tart up.

It will be finished and used for vinduro's. Who ever did the original mod's did an outstanding job

It is the next in line for the big tart up. End of Sept 08 it should be done.

YZ/XT was a bike I had in NZ over 20 years ago, I made a mount for the rear of the motor similar to a YZ125E and used a BSA? oil tank mounted on the right hand side where the airbox was, it had an IT speedo Petty headlight and was street legal in NZ

[yzhilly]

Cool i bet that was a lot of fun on the road . My YZ400E had the same light setup fitted to it when i got it ,i dont think it was ever regoed, just setup for enduro .

[Rossvickicampbell]

CG - that Hontaco fair flies - once up and running we dont see him?

 

Rossco

[Mike]

Speak for yourself Ross, some of us can keep the Hontaco in sight.  I have seen its huge roost many a time out of slow corners,  I even passed it once in the main straight at Narrogin while mark was in the dirt with a broken collar bone.

There are many hybrids in Queensland , they usually start out life as Victorians or New South Welshman.

Don't forget the Kiwi's there too
