I like the look of the engine on the Ossa, looks almost like there should be another cylinder at the front.

There's a couple of bikes around similar to the OSSA. It's possible to get "long range" kits for trials bikes, bigger tank, seat, sprocket change, that sort of thing. There's also the Sherco 125 Long Ride and the Beta Alp 200.

My dad had the Beta Alp. Rode it till he was 85. He did many of the tracks that we do now.Pirahna wrote: Wed Dec 11, 2024 10:23 am There's a couple of bikes around similar to the OSSA.

This bike started out as a 1978 Yamaha RD400 two-stroke two-wheeler, at some point in the 1980s it was converted into a three-wheeler using a Hi-Performance ATC frame kit, balloon tires, and a one-piece rear fender.

This is a 1988 BMW K100RS “Hossack,” it features a revolutionary front suspension system designed by engineer Norman Hossack. This double wishbone or “pivoting-link system,” using upper and lower wishbones with a monoshock, significantly improved handling and later inspired BMW’s Duolever suspension, first introduced on the K1200S in 2004.
This Hossack-equipped 1988 BMW K100RS, with just 22,209 kilometers (~13,800 miles), is being auctioned by Bonhams on December 5th. It includes original documents, TüV approval, and features its bold 1980s paintwork

Hmm...what colour leathers would match it....??
Probably have to wear a dark tinted visor though.

I seem to remember an old mate having a CBR600 in similarly lurid white, teal and pink. Those were the days

But, believe it or not, you've chosen the subtle colour option.
There was this too:
An interesting 'safety' point on their advertising.
Read the small print.

I dunno Hoss, the first set looks like a mash up of pink leathers and a naughty maid costume for a 'Full Monty' type performer. I think they have the edge. (The second set looks like a set of pyjamas for a bisexual crypto squillionaire who might have a car body mounted on his bedroom wall).

Perhaps. Although 'hideous' might work too?
