sorry I forgot to mention that I would hate to see this motorcycle end up in the scrapyard just because the seller does not know anything about motorcycles.

On second thought it might be some guys old frankenstein or it could possobly be an old Zundapp. The picture is too small. Is the kickstart shaft on the left side or right? If mscuddy shows up he'd probably know. He knows everything.

it's a Fronkensteen, from the width of the crankcase maybe a suzuki rotary engine, though the side view looks kike a Hodaka Ace 90. The frames probably a BSA Bantam......
I'd pass if I were you

I dunno, Guys. I had a 1949 BSA Bantam D-1 that had a factory rigid rear end and a tool box like that frame has. Obviously a newer engine, though. Whatever it is now, it would be a real project.
It would make a great mail-box holder......

I just took another look--I think the geometry is off for being a BSA frame, and I don't see any seat mounts like mine had. I think it may be a cut-up frame with a hard-tail added at some misguided point.
I think the poor thing might be best served by being ignored......it must be really embarrassed.....
