Can anyone help one of the visitors to the site identify this bike?
"On one of my trips around the South Coast I took a few photos of this what I am told is a Works racing Russian Motorcycle imported by the Neval Importers in 1978/9. The bike is 125cc and from what I am told there were 6 made, this one is number 6 and there are the bones of number 5 which has a cantilever frame. The headstock plate has 1979 year and number 6 stamped. There is also the symbol of what looks like a flying bird "
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks
Nigel

Perhaps this was an attempt by the importers to make their own racer from standard bikes. A bit like Hitchcocks and their Indian Enfield trials bikes.
