      It was a motorcycle. Now, it's a POS.

            The engine looks like a small Honda XL 185 or perhaps XR

                  LOL! I liked Rick's remark too. Good one!

                  I don't mind a bike that isn't stock. I like some cafe bikes that are done tastefully. This particular one wasn't, IMNSHO. That's all...

                      Ok, I'll let the cat out of the bag. Some good guesses. It's a '97 DR 200. I'd like to do something like this, but with a two stroke. With the right gearing, I bet a two stroke 250 would do the ton even with me on it.
