Just thinning out, again/ still. :TU: A 1972 Honda Mini-Trail 70, 3-speed auto, not the H model with a clutch. Gorgeous condition including original decals and paint. Second one is a 1973 Suzuki RV-90, same condition with the 4 speed manual (clutch) transmission. These RV's have the biggest seats I have ever seen on any production bike. Both seats are perfect, no tears or rips and the pans are virtually rust free. And yes , I have the original air pump that came with it!!! Both have low, low miles and both are red. I like them RED. They have been displayed in my shop / barn and have more fingerprints than miles on them. Great Christmas gifts for the next (younger) generation as "stocking stuffers". I will post pictures this weekend. I have clear titles for both dated from the early 1980's. $3000.00 for both or $1750.00 each with your choice of color / flavor/model. The CT-70 has not run in 4 years since it was a display model (kid magnet) and the condition of both reflect that. The Suzuki runs great but I run it "rich" because I am unsure if the CCI injection is working or not. Must be picked up locally, I will NOT ship them. Too nice and original for anything more than parades or display purposes. Regards, Upstaged in SW Michigan.
I'm interested, but will need someone to help me with shipping. Please email pics to winoman@sbcglobal.net.
I like mini bikes and if I could afford it, I would have a basement full of mini bikes & vintage dirt bikes (and Buicks!). Here are some pictures of my 1969 Rupp Sprint that I got for Christmas back in 69. The pictures were taken in either late December 69 or early January 1970. I sure wish I still had it... Good luck with your sale!
I have a '70 Rupp Roadster and a '70 Rupp Scrambler. The Roadster is mostly original including the engine. I bought them for my boys but I think I play with them more than they dop
Nice! Rupp made big changes from 69 to 70. When I saw the 70 models I was wishing I had waited a year before asking for a mini bike for Christmas...
Here are some pictures of them. Neither have turn signals, I do not think the CT-70 ever had them offered. The only thing not original on the 70 are the foot-pegs. The RV-90 has the luggage rack on the back with very slight pitting, as if the seat isn't big enough. I have both of the original toolkits as well, just need to locate them Regards, Upstaged in SW Michigan. I need a better camera, maybe Santa will bring me one.:TU: I sold all of my RV-125's last year. The green Trail-hopper (not grasshopper) looks nice but the single seat pole, tube often broke off.
I have: 1969 QA50 2 speed model 1969 Trail 90 Hi-Lo Trans 1973 CT70 1975 ST90 1987 KDX200 Animal 2 Smoker!! 1995 Honda V4 Magna Muscle Bike 2003 Honda Spirit 750 Customized Cruiser V-Twin Just last year at the swap meet I sold 4 others I had. I had to slim down cause I was busting at the seams with mini-bikes LMAO!!!!
James, No worries. I prefer to offer them here on the board vs. all the "experts" / crackpots on other venues & websites. Merry Christmas:TU: Regards, Upstaged in SW Michigan
Thank you Chris. Let's see if upstaged gets anyone else interested that can pick them up. I don't really need them, just kind of wanted them so my son can tinker with them. There are plenty for sale closer, but the originality of these make them appealing.
Just returned from Christmas travels. Everyone is healthy & happy and we "beat" the bad weather home. No rush or time constraint on selling either one. Now it is back to worko No: and preparing for 2016. Regards, Upstaged in SW Michigan.
Hey, you may want to list these on planetminis.com and vintagemx.us Plenty of guys on those boards looking for these bikes. Jim
GSJimmy, Thanks for the information. As I stated, no urgency and I listed the condition of both of them. Regards, Upstaged in SW Michigan .
