Yep keepim honest

Ha!
The posting had no pictures when I first looked. Title has been changed to 1972.
Can anyone identify that bike from the photo?

So I clicked on the link and took a peek at the photo. It appears to be an early production Model 94 Wombat. It has the "early" Ace 100 style "flame thrower" exhaust system. Clearly has an iron cylinder . . . still looks to be stock induction system with 24mm flange mount carb. Since Combat Wombats have alloy cylinders and a completely unique exhaust -- it is NOT a Combat Wombat. Seat and frame appear to be correct for a Wombat. Forks look to be too crusty to save . . . and the tank will have to be cleaned up and painted (too much exterior rust through the chrome). Still, with all that . . . and a price to match . . . it might be a semi-good starting point for a "rider". My 2 cents.

Well, I’d consider it for $650 if the price included shipping to New Mexico. He doesn’t list any info about it other than being the wrong model!

Captain. Can you tell, based on looking at the swing arm, if it’s a Wombat frame which was painted red, or is it a 125 motor in an Ace frame? Just curious.... Victor

See above, "Seat and frame appear to be correct for a Wombat."

Looks like it has the top motor mount as well. Tank and cap are correct for a '72 Wombat. With the air cleaner and exhaust still connected there might be hope that the crank, cylinder and such are in good shape. I'd probably jump at it for $500 or so if it has a title.
