Yup it's a Trackmaster frame. Inspiration for the factory OIF, and a real shame they didn't copy it more closely.
Front brake suggests that the bike's set up for TT racing -- close to flat track but with at least one right turn; some gentle whoops; and one jump. Any serious racer would bring a second, spool-hub front wheel rather than simply disconnecting the brake when the TT event concluded.
The Peoria (Illinois) Mile is (maybe/I think/pretty sure) the only AMA Grand National flat track venue that includes a TT race on the card. Lots of swell photos and videos of the venerable Peoria TT are there for the ogling on the Web. --rats
the oil tank is cool.
ReplyDeleteNo cable on that front brake, so it would pass flat track scruteneering. Might be doing supermoto duty on other occasions.
ReplyDeleteLooks like an oil-in-frame that's been hot-rodded. Are you sure about the Trackmaster frame? No chain... D.
ReplyDelete...or footrests... D.
