Looks like a mixture of PE175 and RM125. You will need a step ladder to get on it......look how tall it is compared to the RMZ.

DRZ in the background. I don't think it looks too tall.

From memory the frame was RM250 N or T?

They lengthened the whole frame a few inches to fit the motor in.

There was another RM/TT combo around a few  years ago but they stretched only the engine cradle and kept the original wheelbase

If you have never ridden an RM N/T model, then you don't know what tall is......look at the guard to wheel gaps. The hubs are PE175 on the rear I think and RM125 N/T on the front.....it doesn't have the big 250/400 front hub.

I like it but it would be too tall for me , looks like a PE swinging arm and maybe PE frame ( different rear brake set up to RM ) Pe rear wheel and as Joan says 125/175 front wheel ( maybe you don't need so much stopping power with the engine braking )

PE 400 frame is a lot stronger than the RM frame ( so if it is a PE frame that's not a bad thing )

I think it is a very cool build and would be competitive in the right hands , its a good price I wouldn't think you could build one to that std for what he's asking  :)
