A bike i owned some years ago, only rode up & down the road a few times, what a beast.
Most of the frame was still the 550, the bits added to make it off road are from a Kawasaki .
I sold it many years ago at the Badshot Lea jumble run by the VJMC, funny enough the chap that built it turned up & said it was road legal when he converted it.

Unusual indeed...
Should have rerouted/elevated the silenced to complete the scrambler impression

Ace! Do you know if it qualifies for twin shock enduro? There's been a bit of a resurgence in vintage off road racing over the last few years.

I like it too. Parts look like they could be kl250. That would be interesting as I'm in the beginnings of rebuilding one and have both types of machine as spares. Doubt id take it out with my second job which is taking trail bike's out as a guide. (Trail rides Wales)

Incredible, I have actually ridden this beast off road! It belonged to a good mate of mine who probably brought it off the person daz sold it to. He used it a number of times off road in the Wiltshire area and on one occasion offered me a ride on it " cos I was into old Hondas!" Went well, but stopping and changing direction were interesting to say the least! Last I heard it had been sold to a young lady in the Littlehampton ( no seriously ) area.
