that looks like a zypher 750 swinger.

I like the idea of motocross setup on one of these kz's. I have to say that would be pretty cool if done right!

or just put a kz motor in a YZ 125 chassis!!! someone around here did that, turned out pretty badass.

yeah that a zephyr swinger. I would use something like that as opposed to a mx setup. the forks are lighter and are made to flex street stuff is not. a 21 and 19 rim prob wouldn't handle very good either. I would go with a set of usd forks off a zx7 or gsxr 1100 theyre the longest and a good swingarm. I used a gsxr swingarm just some ideas

The idea of riding big off-road tires on a street bike is cool. Its like a "survival" bike.

Just some info for help, the "inverted" front suspension from the pic you posted is an Ohlins front fork. They cost about $3,000.
