That's my mate's "iron courtain frankenstein crosser" Frame, engine and most of the parts come from polish bike WSK 125, with front suspension from east german MZ TS150 and rear suspension from czech JAWA350 + some "custom" parts. The engine is 2-stroke air cooled 3-gear. In the communist era Poland has been producing a lot of small capacity motorcycles, as cars were too expensive and "luxurious". In the 90s, when the communism ended cars became more accessible and popularity of bikes has decreased extremely. Most of those bikes ended up at scrapyards or rotten in sheds in the villages. This one was also rescued and bought as a battered "non-runner" from some redneck who has managed to damage in it almost everything. It's nothing nothing fancy and has no collectible value but it was mate's first "project" and it made him catch the "2-stroke bug" This is how more or less how the original bike should look like:
