fellonmelug Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 (edited) I think its an armstrong with the Hiro engine circa 1981, I think its aHiro engine as the carb appears to be at the rear of the barrel as opposed to the rotax engine whch has its carb very much lower Edited December 2, 2006 by fellonmelug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jam Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 It looks like a JCM to me, try to check out the engine casing name.....................................does it say JCM or HIRO? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 As it says made in Austria on it, it's not going to be a Hiro. Can't see the carb clearly enough to tell but the 350 rotax didn't have the disc inlet arrangement so the carb sits higher than on the 240/280 motors. If it's a 350 mono it would be quite rare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the addict Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Pretty sure its an Armstrong, brother used to have an all red one and from what i can remember it had a wider front tyre on it. Bit of a handfull at times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fellonmelug Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Just dug out an old picture of my 82 CCM CMT 310 which had a Hiro motor and have to admit Iwas wrong , The Hiro had its chain on the other side , having a good look at the bike in question it really looks like a mono shock which probably rules out all the Armstrong / CCM possibilities Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malcra Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 having split my Jumbo engine (a few times) recently, it looks like a Rotax TL350 motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Originally I thought it was an Armstrong mono which used the 240/280 rotax motor - can't remember whether they ever put the 350 in the mono or just the twinshock though. But, the mono only came with an alloy frame as far as I remember so it can't be one of those as this one has steel downtubes from the headstock. Tank also looks wrong shape and frame looks wrong under seat. Second thought was that it is an Aprilia mono but the frame is wrong around the swingarm pivot upwards. Tank looks wrong shape for Aprilia too. So, still stumped, although it looks as though it has been butchered beyond recognition, so identification may be difficult. Love to know what it is just out of curiosity though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

physco Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 (edited) it is a armstrong mono shock from 1984 i think but as it got an alloy frame? Edited December 3, 2006 by PHYSCO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29r Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 Could it be a Can Am ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ask greeves Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 (edited) Having searched high and low, found this picture of a CAN AM, the frame looks similar, has a Rotax engine also. I reckon its an Armstong, the exhaust has the flat rear, associated with armstrong exhausts, probably an Armstrong/CanAm. John Lampkin or Steve Saunders might know, as they were both works riders for Armstrong, I think!
