What is it?

I picked this up today on CL. No name that I can see. Handlebars I think are bicycle, rear wheel looks Harbor Freight. Color is light purple-ish rust.

Frame look straight, engine plate is loose. 2 cool home made fenders and 1 that looks original. Seat with frame, at the very least has been recovered, or is home made.

Imagine it had rear suspension and looks like it might have front suspension.

few like it before, but ?

MTD, someone flipped the engine plate? The handlebars were also replaced

I realized the plate looked weird, it was loose, not welded down, flipped it over it sits fine. Another 20 degree engine plate. The handlebars are bicycle bars screwed right into the triple clamp, it looks like it should have bar clamps like a motorcycle/Rupp.

Yeah, MTD used some funky shaped bars that swept out towards the front and back. Those are probably the ugliest mini bike made, but they ride great

That was a good guess capgun. Or very close. Looks like an MTD/Columbia, the red one is most similar . They call them the "ugly" MTD's lol, rightly so.

Actually it looks like the blue one, missing that rear bar that replaces the shocks.
