Not sure about the claim but it is badass!

I have a Dave miller seat it isnt that cool!

Of course, for us East coasters it’s in CA.

Tank and exhaust look Bonanza but that’s about it. Looks like a custom frame but no expert here on origin.

It’s one of the more coveted ones with the rear foot brake too!

 

[Skipp]

It also has a typhoon swing arm….

So the frame is a Bonanza?

Can’t see enough I won’t download OfferUp just to see it….i could see it one time yesterday all the pics

but bonanza made one like that mostly mx I thought…just my opinion I’m sure experts will chime in….

Thetes an old pic on here with a young lady sitting on it….the first one I saw ….a frame on eBay has one…it’s in Colorado….

Wheels look like the 1310TCS with the spokes and brake drum.

Midyrman or Tom builds the best bikes I ever have seen even a class above the Dave Miller Rabbit Hole bike in this thread !

Appreciate the compliment. I’ve learned most everything I know from members on this Forum. And I’ve seen great work both correct restorations and some custom. Many of the components on my bikes have at one time or another been in a members hands. Robert- that Lil Indian Grand Sport looked spectacular.

Hey guys, I think this was an old prototype frame that Dave Miller had from riding for Bonanza. This is some pictures from mini cycle guide of a bonanza cyclone Mark II that never made it to production. The wheels, forks and motor are different but look at the basic frame design, very unique! Let me know what you guys think.

Looks an awful
Lot like this a member posted some time ago! Rear brake and all…,???

 

[Skipp]

It would be nice to think it is real and true…hope it is…sad reality is the parts will be on ebay soon….

This is a standard Mx with the rare front brake and super rare rear brake setup! The prototype frame shown on offer up has a complete different frame. Single down tube, tube rear swing arm and the unique upper bars that meet the fork headset.

Just incase the link is not working for you.

Swingarm appears to be typhoon type?
