I'd never heard of these before...

That looks really top heavy to me !

It reminded me of the Flying Millyard!

Looks like something Allen Millyard would create.

wtaf?

Dunno mate. Can't work out what it is and Google hasn't helped. The bike parts look familiar but the engine doesn't.

[JackyJoll]

Looks like an MZ 250 with an engine that I can’t identify.

Marine two-stroke?

A chap on the K club forum is rebuilding one of these.



It's a KR250. Cool little stroker.

There were 18 imported by Huddersfield kawasaki, never inported by Kawasaki uk this one came in to the country about 14 years ago with a load of TZ yams.

That's a one with the twin stacked cylinders innit, quite a strange engine layout?

Andy Bolas in the VJMC has a green one and would probably be a good person to talk to about them, also talk to Dave Marsden at Z Power, he worked for Huddersfield Kawasaki in the 80s, he also had hair in the 80s

Kawasaki 250 and 350 GP bikes were tandem twins, so is the Rotax engine that was used in karts and bikes, the first Aprillia 250s and 500s used Rotax tandem twin engines, the 500 was actually nearer 400cc.

I like.

It's an odd mix of parts and styles, it's also a GT380 so I'm biased against it.

It is an odd mix and ultimately looks odd although some parts look quite spiffing.....but, out of interest, why are you biased against the 380? I would have quite liked one when they were current. (I'd guess the handling was a bit suboptimal though).

GT380s were pretty awful, the engine was heavy and the frame was weak.

I thought at first that was a front wheel with a load of yellow vests thrown around it.

I'm still not convinced it isn't...

Take a leaf out of his book.

There's a bike similar to that around here (well, down in the valley) - pretty sure the guy won't have that moustache or shirt tho!

Here's one from last week at the Classic TT.There were quite a few interesting bikes there,this one's a 750 Suzuki single motor in a home made Seeley replica frame.
