I think we have here at least an honorable mention. The great handling of a Yamaha 60 chassis combined with the performance and reliability of a Honda 50 engine. It has a lot of trick parts: a Preston Petty Mini Mudder front fender, a UNI clutch lever assembly, and a high performance Volkswagen Beetle exhaust. A custom bobbed rear fender. Back in the 70s this bike was ridden exactly as is, less the silver paint. Never failed to (push) start, because it never had a kick start! The Yamalube tank was actually the gas tank. My friend embarrassed me royally by riding it over a 16 inch log that was about 4 inches above the trail without footing. Then I had to dab once to clear the same log on my new Bultaco 350 Alpina!

And it does have a trials look to it, even without knowing the log story.
