Some good ones here of late, shame I haven't got a clue to most of them.

Must have been very loud too!
I never heard of or never even imagined a machine like that.
Quite interesting though.

I found some footage of Megolas running on you tube, worth a look, there is a video on Jay Leno's garage - he has one on them too.

With a little bit of detective work I have found it, but perhaps someone else wants to have a go.
clues from the picture - German style paint and finish and that star on the tank is quite distinctive.

Doesn't anyone else want a shot at it ?

Yes Alan that's right, Interesting how clean the engine is on this model, as there are no external oil lines, its all inside the engine casing. Quite an achievement for a bike of this age.

I had forgot about this machine havn't seen one for ages. The engine is a dead give away, however I am sitting this one out. As I think we are both monopolising the game, we seem to have scared everyone off?
Nice bike though Alan.

Thank heavens somebody knew it, I'd never seen one before too. I just knew it was a Suzuki and that was it. I wonder why it never sold a lot
Nice one Stan.
