Does anyone recognise that motor? I can normally recognize motors at a glance, but this one baffles me. The left side cover and cam tower cover look decidedly British, but you can see a front mounted electric starter motor, and the left side shifter is definitly Japanese. Maybe some domestic 500 single..Yamaha or Honda maybe?

I was so distracted by the helmet I didn't even notice it had a motor.

My two questions...
What's going on behind the toilet, with all that machinery? Maybe it's some sort of composting/energy converting gizmo? Perhaps it's a hybrid!
And why the second, tiny toilet on the handlebars? Pet pooper??
Edit. I shoulda read the story first. Seems it is sort of a poop converter, though it uses "livestock waste" for power. Maybe cows poop in the little toilet? Or you scoop cow patties in there as needed?
And Mr. Ferret, it says it's got a 250cc motor. No other details.

The accompanying article describes it as a 250cc motor designed to run on waste water and animal discharge. Perhaps a methane gas tank is hidden in back.
Actually, it's the latest theme bike from Orange County Cycles, a rolling icon to what they've been building over the years.
