Yep, I love a good old fashioned special but that top one something else. The whole concept of swapping engines is to hopefully improve the performance of the original donor bike. Somehow though, I doubt that an MX125 engine would out perform the original RM125 motor. The $1200 he supposedly spent on the MX125 would have turned the original motor into a ball tearer and left change for new plastic and a proper paint job....and he'd still be able to kick start it ::)
Compare that piece of shit to the sweet work that Yamaico does with even worse donor bikes and you'll understand the 'special' concept.

That is the most unique frame downtube I have ever seen. Truly inspired...  :o or truly delusional...  :-\  I can't quite make up my mind...  :D
