It's not one of those bikes that you look at and say to yourself "wow, that's an amazing paint job" or "that guy has some great welding skills". It's a bike that you look at and just "get". It's credible. It looks like a motorcycle, and one that could have just as easily come from Suzuki...or BSA, in the 1960's (I did have a guy at a gas station insist that his father had the same exact bike in the '70's).
My guess - It was an SR500 Yamaha. But lets see what else was close.
Cool.
