Nope, another clue for you as I had also never heard of this bike before this. They are using another well know bike manufacturer (??????) in the same country for the engine parts from the cases up.

Ok then no one seems to be able to crack this one so here it is. It is a Borile B500Ricki
The exciting news from Borile in 2011 is thenew engine for the B500CR and the B350EN. The two new engines will be designed and built in Italy, extending our country's great motorcycle tradition. We have signed an agreement with Ducati for the supply of the power-producing elements, the engine parts from the cases up, of the 696 and 1100, both air-cooled and both with two valves.
Fueled by Weber-Marelli injection, the two new engines feature electric starters, balancer shafts for smoothness and easily accessible cassette gearboxes.
Stunning torque, reduced weight, simplicity: Those words best describe the new engines in the 2011 models.
We feel that the bikes we build in this new association with Ducati will delight our riders - and all who love motorcycles.
So who is next then

A very tiny yellow no 22 offroad bike 
Rokon???
i was just going to do a better picture ! but your spot on well done that man.
its a 1974 340cc rokon ,it had an automatic sach engine which is why it was one of the first disc brake dirt bike , you had to free wheel in to corners as there was no drive till you hit the throttle ,which is why the brake fluid usad to boil mid way though a race leaving you with no brakes.
If it's my turn, I have a little something different.
You have to name the bike (pretty challenging) and the person shown in the photo (also pretty challenging, but a little less so).
Extra credit given for the year!

Got Surtees - Got the year - but the bike? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
John Surtees working on his Formula II Cooper in the garage of his home in Bickley, Kent, 1960.
I also understand he had kidney pie for dinner that evening.
I know I know, nobody likes a smart ass.
