To be fair, it does look like it's only a JDM 250 Kat they've ruined.

The Bistella 500cc may just be the only custom on the planet that could make Allen Millyard scratch his head – a supercharged 10-cylinder two-stroke radial.
Czech engineer Marek Foltis is the brains behind the creation which uses a 1953 Czech-built Jawa 18 as the base model. The main goal, says Marek, was to: “Create my own engine design, something that had never been used before in any vehicle.”

OK, I give up. What is/was it?
Love the Curlywurly exhaust and the headlight that looks like it came off a theatre lighting rig. LOL at the front wheel/tyre.

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
It's the helmet on the seat which gets me.
Bike looks mad, but then you see that Helmet and realise it must be tiny. Or it's owned by this guy.

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
There's something Suzuki about it. That cylinder does suggest scooter. Shame we can't see the other side. If it's a single then it's a very scootery engine but the tank suggest some sort of Frankenstein hybrid...or a damn fine Photoshop.v8-powered wrote: ↑Fri Feb 03, 2023 4:47 pmI really don't know!

PS You're right Dazzle, if that helmet is to scale it's tiny.

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
It's not a Navi!
The Navi has a storage box where the engine is!
It's a (heavily customised) first generation MSX125, known by the Septics as a Grom.
