I've had this TDR since the early 90s and been slowly playing with it over the years. Finally got round to a proper rebuild this year.

One of mine, built for the commute to work.
Crazy spec 110cc pit bike engine, could wheelie in all gears, and top speed around 55mph. Very capable of leaving much larger bikes for dead at the lights too.

Sadly stolen a month after i finished all the work.

Chinese chopper, similar to AJS regal raptor/Kinroad. Basically a honda C50 manual engine, but a chinese clone. Stomp pit bike engine is a straight fit, and i was going to go for the 185/225cc one once i'd sourced a disk based front end, then anodise and chrome the heck out of everything, including rims, solid rear wheel center, engine covers/tappet covers etc.
Was built purely for hilarity. Turned out to be quite a capable commuter too.

Already road registered then as the chinese thing? Thats when I got fed up of the supermoto, local DVLA were having none of it. Wasted countless hours on paperwork, phone calls and visits.
Built a Bandit chop years ago from a crashed 600, just welded the headstock complete with frame number onto a hardtail frame, didn't even need an mot because it was only a year old. Kind of stretching it a bit but I got away with it.

Yes, it was. Re registered as the correct CC of course. Would have been fun when completely finished, and as blingy as a tarts handbag, but that was kind of the point
