What Kind of Bike is This???

[jefro]

I know the guy on it(he's in his 80's now) and was curious what it is? Looks like a 2 stroke single....the tank looks like a early Honda but I don't remember them ever making a 2 stroke and the front fender doesn't look Japanese....help me out.

I know exactly what that is!(really) But I can't remember!
I wanna say it's a BSA

[raydog]

OK, I should know this cuz I was a hanger outer at early bike shops....I think it was a 250 or 350cc Jawa. Great pic. Doyle

I'm thinking they were welders gloves from the plant we worked in(General Motors Hydra-Matic Willow Run, Michigan). This guy hired in the plant in 1953 and I retired him in 2008 only because the plant was closing as part of the GM bancruptcy and restructuring.

looks like either BSA or Honda (dream maybe?) perhaps a Triumph but thinking more Honda Dream of some flavor. For relative comparison

Thinkin Moto Guzzi ??

Got me stumped. Really want to say it's a BSA, based on the tank and forks. The fender is not right for any BSA I know though, and the body is a bit short. Gonna need to do some diggin' for that one. Fender is right for a 60's Honda, but nothing else is

[zukracer]

I'm tellin ya its a Honda Dream 305 or similar but the body lines are just too similar not to be it

Doyle knows his bikes, that is a Jawa.

Yes it is...classic old 2-stroke. I grew up on 2-stroke streetbikes, still miss'em sometimes

This sure looks like it: Zundapp 201S

[Matte_Black]

Or is it a 1967 honda CD 175, what do you think?

[jphilipson]

It's a Zundapp 250 Super Sabre - had to use my ask a friend

A very old one. Kinda surprised Raydog didn't know. Seeing as how he's from last century I'd think he knew these kind of things?

My brother put them on and was smacking his own a$$. too much like SM and bondage
