This is going to be my little project over the next several months if nothing gets in my way of progress. Best i can tell it's a 1964-69. Took it all apart yesterday and the inside of the engine looks great but the 3 speed transmission is locked up. Gas tank and seat are not original and will be thrown away

Wow, cool project. I am not a motorcycle person, so that is the first front wheel drive one I have ever seen. Very unique. Good luck on the rebuild. It's a great feeling when you take something that's not functional, and make it work.And I just looked at the pics again and seen the rear wheel drive. Cool

Before 3 days ago i had never seen one of these bikes in person. Only a few times in old magazines. I just happened across this one and had to buy it.
Invented in late 50's and went into production in 1962 i believe.
They are still being made today in New Hamshire.
Youtube search Rokon world for some cool videos
