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.

We could start our own "roach of the month" but that would be a waste of time we already have a winner for the year! >:(

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
