Cagiva Lucky Explorer, that is what I remember ... very nice motorcycles

I like Cagivas, which is why it caught my eye.

Any suggestions of year or model? I've looked through all the KHSs I can find and can't see anything similar. Did they use Italian bottom bracket shells?

I made a mistake, I thought I recognized a few frame details but the seat tube end is curves and KHS is straight
I don't think KHS did use Italian bottom brackets.

I contacted the seller, but they didn't know any further informtion about the frame, other than it came with full XTR which they have sold.
