modified Honda GL125
From tank, gas cap and engine, it's based on Honda 125cc single-cylinder.
In 80's, two asian 125cc model 'CG125' & 'GL125' were exist.
CG125 is standard type with drum brake and GL125 is Deluxe type with disk brake.

Trike of this type was mainly made by the small factory or bike shop in town.
Asian trike are still used south asian countries, China and Korea.

example of korean trike :D

Marrant. Parce que ni le bas-moteur, ni le réservoir, ni la fourche ne me rappellent un 125 Honda. Déjà, c'est un joyeux bitza, ça c'est sûr. Maiaiaiais: la forme du carter inférieur me fait penser à un Yamaha mono, 400 ou 500 SR... Je me trompe?

It still remains as 'difficult one'.
Once I thought it may be Yamaha SR400/500 (in fact, it matches considerably) but they never use such a big bike for the trike donor.
Bottom flame leads to the rear of trike, so it's not clear which 'cradle frame' or 'diamond frame'.

If it's SR400/500, one possibility is made for movie and callied to here.

I doubt they would make such thing especially for movie, it should be easier to buy one in HK.
On the other hand, if they wanted a fast bike (since it is used in a chase), maybe they made it for the movie...

Is it used in a chase!?

Yamaha SR400 or 500 (1978-)
I had mistaken! jplemoine has great eyes :king:

Yamaha SR400/500 has a oil filler cap in front of the tank, and it also visible on the trike picture!

Merci pour le compliment, je lui retourne le même... :wow: avec d'autres indices ( faibles, vu qu'il s'agit vraisemblablement d'un bitza... ): les phares-compteurs typiques de chez Yamaha...
