This is a TZ 750.
I've seen some radical things done to what started as good race bikes and made into strange specials, things like turning the top end around, I was an observer to taking a Kawasaki rotary disc 125 trail bike and grafting a quarter of a Suzuki RG 500 to it and it won the Australian Ultralightweight GP, that was special.



After all of that, it's no big deal and I may be on a different planet to people that know what they are talking about. Getting late off to bed now. Be interested to see in the morning if we have any comments on this or if it's done.

[CarlS]

[DaveM]

Lol ok then we now have two to look at, so your one needs some more work from us then

 

[Ksquared]

Made in a country that is not currently being consumed by riots (as far as I know).

 

[CarlS]

LOL, that should eliminate a bunch of countries!

One of the unsung geniuses of motorcycle design is the Frenchman Claude Fior. This 300km/h race bike is typically unusual: check out the front suspension, a wishbone-style arrangement with a Koni shock absorber. The engine was also French, designed and built by JPX of Le Mans. It was a liquid-cooled two-stroke inline four, tuned to deliver 150bhp at 12,300rpm. The Fior 500 was assembled in Nogaro, and was ridden by the late Swiss racer Marco Gentile at the 1988 Japanese GP. Fior also designed many chassis for the French small-volume motorcycle maker Boxer, which created the Lamborghini motorcycle we featured recently. [Thanks to Laurent Tomas of the Coyote Racing Team for the tip.]

You have to tell me what you Googled in order to come up with the Fior. Was it the "Marlboro" and "Dunlop" that I left showing? I thought that would be an absolute stumper!

Even with Google and looking at those it was a stumper for me
