Dang! If the "Rock eater" from Never Ending Story ever traded in his tricycle that is the motorbike he would buy! :D

OK I have seen some ugly mongrel bikes but this poor old thing defies explanation, it's either a Suzuki TS90 or an A100 or a combination of the two!
Nothing about this bike matches, the rear guard is plastic and the front chromed!
That tank is wrong for a TS so I'm thinking it came off an A100 (which was a horrible boring little commuter bike).
Just not right what some people will do to a wee machine like that, the TS90 was one of the best little trail rides you could buy in NZ in the 70's.

This is what one of my friends is working on right now. It's a 1975 xs650 engine in a flat track frame with a Triumph (mid to late 90's) front end. I wish I would have taken a pic of the wiring harness that he made too. He's big on minimalism. As you can tell in the pics, he's single. I wish I could have bikes in my house.

Never did I say I wish I had a room that looked like that. I said I wish I could put bikes in my house. I would put some sort of a giant, thick rug down. I just want somewhere indoors to work on my bike.

It's all good. The first time I went in his house I said, "So, this is why you're single." He just laughed and said that he'd rather have his bikes. I can't wait to see that Hooligan on the road!

One that is crying out for restoration.

That is nice Hushy, I've got a friend (who I haven't seen for a long time, I must catch up with him again soon) who used to race a TZ125 back in the 1980's, he's long since hung up his racing leathers (rides a Harley now) but he mounted the little Yam on a stand up on the wall of his "entertainment area". It's very pleasant sitting down having a beer from his bar and looking up at that little piece of racing history! ;D

Did someone say TZ?

Ah I see, I've only ever seen the single cam models here in NZ, we had the CL175 and CL350 I don't recall any others.
