I dunno. Damn thing looks british to me...........the tank/seat at least. Chain is on the offside of most bikes. And what is that car in the background? Looks 50's vintage to my USA eyes.

[mike wilson]

One last clue. Somebody should get it from this.

 

Not a one-off, although not many (single figures) were made. An almost direct copy of something else.

Apparently an almost identical copy of the MV of the time, four were made. I can't find any record of them ever racing.

 

Vostock was the Soviet capsule that carried Yuri Gagarin into space.

Thank you. It suprised me when I found it, too. Would like to know more but there's little online. I have some (Russian) books on their motorcycles. I think I'll do some scanning over the weekend...
