A very interesting motor,it did look like a factory fitted tank rather than a after market add on for something,so what size engine would that have been ??? about 800cc i would have though and very juicy to run,possibly used a variaton of the Suzuki 750cc bike engine they nick named 'the kettle' as it was water cooled,just a thought but it would have been around that time the bike was out.

The 539 cc (32.9 cu in) three-cylinder engine remained a two-stroke; while power remained 26 PS (19 kW) at 4500 rpm more low-end torque was on offer - 5.3 kg·m (52.0 N·m; 38.3 lb·ft) at 3000 rpm.[19] Both figures are at considerably lower engine speeds.

This was largely an L50 engine with an extra cylinder added, still water-cooled and with a bore and stroke of 61.0 and 61.5 mm. The LJ50 was also fitted to several generations of the Carry microtruck and van, until
