The side covers and seat say Honda Dream 50 to me, but the engine is way too big.
Way too much (modern?) a frame for the Dream. No closer to knowing what it is though.
I always thought it would be cool to be able to help out a broken airhead for a stranger sometime - however in the fantasy, she has pigtails and other assets.

The bike in the back ground was last years winter project. A much modified "bike in a box" Skyteam Ace 125cc. It's the going to work bike. Out of the box, the Ace might do 80kph off a cliff. Mine does 120kph or so. I am not old enough for a scooter, so I have the ACE
The other cult bike in the garage is W800. It is a modern version of a R80gs. Easily goes anywhere the R80gs will go. If I was going to ride around the world. The W800 would high on my list. Mechanically simple and far more reliable than 1200gs ,

Yours is a beauty, Dan! Both of them!

And it is damn fine to look at while sitting at a roadside cafe having tea!

Yep - you are correct. Never seen the one you showed.
