Yep it’s Dr Frankenstein’s creation for the discerning biker. At least it’s a Nonda engine

Waste of a Pop Up fairing tho’

I thought in the UK you couldn't mix and match stuff like that, like you wouldn't pass your MOD thing from the state.

Here in the US we can get away with crap like that, as long as it has a plate. Cars they get picky due to smog certs, but not two weelers.

You're both so wrong.. It's a diamond in the rough.

The Ministry of Transport test (MoT) only tests the vehicle’s roadworthy standard, brakes, lights, tyres, etc.
It does not matter if they are not from the same manufacturer era or planet!
Just so long as it hangs together on the day.
There is a fair amount of discretion available to the tester (as he can be prosecuted for passing dangerous vehicles). Regulation is generally down to insurance companies asking “Are there any modifications to the vehicle?”.

There are a lot of Chops, Bobbers and such trundling around that on paper are Hardly Driveable 125 or 250s! Usually because they have the frame number of the old AMF 2 stroke roadster/trail bikes.

Another favourite is the old Series 2 Land Rovers with full time 4x4, coil springs and a V8. Mostly as a result of a workshop collision between an old Range Rover and the remains of an SII (Mostly just the VIN plate). Although there has been a bit of tightening of the regs over that now.

Some of the combinations were good others not so.

Triton, Tribsa, Norbsa, Norvin. TriField. Bitsa

I knew someone who was going to build a conglomeration of Levis-Matchless-Vincent.

He was going to call it a LeeMarVin........

Krayten, thanks for that. I thought it was more stringent.

Here in the US, your riding test is navigating cones in a 20 by 80 loop, then any 16 year old can go buy a Busa, or Harley Dyna wide glide. They even have people that advertise they will bring a 250 scooter and meet you at the testing site to let you use their Helix to pass the course. Fun times.
