I've seen this picture before and I really like that bike, especially the gas tank. But doesn't it seem like it would be a major thigh burner? It looks like your knees would be right next to that hot little engine.

that motor would be the prefect heater for riding in the frigid wisconsin winters. and yes, i ride all winter long.
I know that one. Had my mustache freeze up a few times. Now I ride with a bandana covering myface like a bandit.
The last time I rode in a good hard winter (Britain normally goes from periods of tepid and changeable weather to cool and changeable weather), which is many, no, many, many, no, don't go there, years ago, I used to be on a 250 MZ going into work 10 miles through snow and ice. People blue and shuddering from the cold were asking me how I could ride a bike in those temperatures (we actually hit -10C sometimes, cold for us). Cold? I worked up a sweat kicking it straight and pulling it back out of the gutter every time the front wheel locked up.
I guess that's why it looks like a leg burner to me, where I live the coldest day is in the 50'sF.
ain't no one know's the cold of living in a nice warm house with my ex-wife. she could freeze the sun....
That's pretty cool. Very little difference to motor bicycles now. Low seat. High handle bars. Small fuel tank. Bicycle tires.
That looks like a Flying Pidgeon bike. Check out how the front brake doesn't squeeze the rim but rather pulls up onto the rim.
