Shit pic but could be TS/TC125 by the look of the crank/reed valve set-up.
Just a guess tho.

The bikes in Thailand may be little tiddlers but the locals sure love tricking 'em up. They've  got a serious drag racing scene where some of these little crotch-rockets run in the 11's. You'd be amazed how trick some of these bikes are.

I think their 3 wheelers have as much in common with a Wasp as a Lady-boy does with romance ;D

The Honda  Novas, is it a deformed conventional motorcycle or a half arsed step thru? and it also appears to be a mythical Honda two stroke.....
 Love the design regulation compliant Dax sidecar. Super useful in Pakistan so you can put another 38.7 people on board  :)
