Yup, normally a 49cc disc-valve two-stroke.

I reckon the guy that built it was inspired by the Kenny Roberts TZ750 flat-tracker.

that brings back memories, my first bike was a blue version of that, with the 50 engine though. seized it once through my lack of knowledge with 2 strokes, put a big bore kit and micron on, all my mates dads had bought them new rd 50s and otherwise up to date exotica, i made do with my fizzy and still kept up, although really longed for a rd 50:yes: my parents had the money but are just the tightest people in the world, and still are:mellow:
