The motors look like XR500 or XR650 singles but I don't know what Honda streetbike uses a similar engine.
 
they are GB500.

cool little bikes, too bad they didnt sell well here in the states.

heres one for sale in n.c.
 
Saw a GB here in Austin @ the grocer-pretty nice in person,too. But I think J's right-dirt motor. I've also seen them use Rebel motors, too.
 
nope were both wrong, gb250 according to the gravel crew site.

1 one page 1 the other on page 2...
 
I didn't suggest it may have been a GB500 since I don't think anyone would chop up such a rare bike so I thought a more common model was the base. I assume the GB250 is much more available than the GB500.
 
well the single could be the gb250 but the other one is a twin.....
i dont get it.. the twin. hmmmm not sure what the heck that is....
 
I'm pretty sure those two bikes have the same motor. The XR/GB motors have 2 exhaust ports even though they are singles.

This is on the Gravel Crew site as well,

(edit) posted at the same time...that is a wierd set up. 2 exhaust ports and 1 carb...i wonder what the logic behind that is..

see if anyone can guess what this is lol

I'd say it is a honda c70/90. going from the look of the front end and swing arm.
Personally I love this one.

im impressed....its actually a c100 but i never would have guessed that......thats a cool chop you found too looks very cool
 
I only new that because I have a ct110 (well actually 3 of them)
they are very similar but the off road version. over here these are called postie bikes as thats what our mail gets delivered on.
heres a pic

IN my mind this bike hits the nail in the head for the overall proportion.
The chubby tires are just right, the bars are low without being too low, the color scheme....everythign just fits!
