The JJ Cobas looks like a normal bike. Normally these rare manufacturers have something special about what was different about these then?

There was nothing really special about them , its just that they are so rare and never seen. Now they probably werent the best bike around , thats for sure , or maybe they were to expensive , or the company management was sh*t. The engine looks like a Montesa unit. Can anyone with Montesa knowledge confirm this or not?.

Ive never seen one anyway , and would bet there's only a few in existance.

Pity , id have one

I was in Barcelona last december and took this-

It is not a std bike with the unusual chain drive sytem crossing from one side of the bike to the other

it also had monoshock rear suspension and unusual disc brakes wich most bikes did not have any of at the time

so it is not 'a normal bike'!!!!

Gasgas249 you got the dragonfly ?.

I still have my skywalker but need to find a sticker kit if anyone can help.

Or a decent photo of tank sides to copy stickers may be of some use.

Also had sticker set for Cagiva DG350, they have been lost in the painting process, painter lost my stickers .

so if anyone can help here that would be appreciated.

Maybe get one of them finished.

The JJ Cobas had:

disc brakes when all others still had drums

could be fitted with a Montesa, Bultaco or Ossa engine

monoshock when the other were just thinking about it

single backbone frame when all others had cradle type frames

jackshaft final chain drive to eliminate torque on the rear suspension

only 9 or 10 were ever built

they were good enough to win the Spanish Championship

Antonio Cobas was one of the great MC designers of all time. Honda GP team, Montesa frame designer, made his own 250 GP bike
