dhansen Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Too bad for him!! Meanwhile let's find that bike!! Maybe it's a Harley!! I am embarassed to admit how much time I've spent online trying come up with something. I suspect the photo came from a book or magazine and not from an online source. Lately I've been trying to find a match to the fork sliders or brake/hub without any success either. Lots of cool 50cc race stuff out there. Just wish I wasn't such a big guy...........

Admin Jaap Posted February 18, 2007 Author Share Posted February 18, 2007 Have to disappoint you; found the pic online. and ... sorry, no points for effort! Link to comment
helicopterjim R.I.P. Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Hmmm. Its orange but not this bike .... Link to comment
Garsdad Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 no clue what it is, but to my eye it looks like those forks are set up for a disk brake- the drum hub and wheel should not be there. It almost looks like a mountain bike fork... Link to comment
helicopterjim R.I.P. Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 The forks look like Ceriani's. That doesn't help much. Is it a Kobas? Link to comment
Admin Jaap Posted February 18, 2007 Author Share Posted February 18, 2007 still no right answers, not even close... Link to comment
dhansen Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 OK. That front brake looks too cheezy to have ever come out of a REAL racing shop. To me, that leaves out most any European or Japanese factory racing equipment. It could be UJM sorta Japanese but I can't find anything on the 'net that matches up with that unit. I'm not saying it isn't Japanese but if it is, its pretty obscure. So whats left? A hint about a color........ So I'm thinking red............... umm, where do cheezy knock-offs of Japanese bikes come from? Ah-so, RED CHINA! The search goes on.................. Link to comment
Guest redguzziv10 Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Bit of lateral thinking from my mate Google .... is it a Tohatsu 50cc ? Ridden in the sixties by a Dutchman (hence, orange) calles Piet Van De Goorbergh Link to comment
