Anyone know what this is?

Post by Dave DRZ »

Sorry about the quality of the photos - it was dark, I'd had a few, it wasn't there the next morning - I saw this on a Barcelona side street last week and thought it was fab. Has anyone got any idea what it is?

A bit of Googling suggests it might be a customised Yamaha Scorpio (but these generally have twin shocks) or a TW200 (but the engine doesn't look right).

So, any advice?

Thanks for the replies and the touched up photo. I don't think it's a Serrow when I compare it to other photos online. The lack of a kick start and the rear disc brake make me think it isn't the TW200... it's got me stumped.

Still, nice looking bike.

yes, I'd say so too. Looks like the 600 motor, either 2kf or possibly an E , both had rear disc.
