1960's Sportsman 700 Trail Scooter

[bwherry1721]

Inherited 1960's Sportsman 700 Trail Scooter kept in old barn for 35 plus years. Only 1500 made in Denver, CO. Anyone have one or heard of this bike? Here are some pics of when it was pulled out of the barn and after cleaning it up a bit. Hoping to restore it but would love some guidance on parts etc. Thank you

Looks like that would be a workhorse.

Hi rollin2. When you say workhorse is that good or bad? LOL

As far as parts, it looks like you have all the important ones. Nice to find them that complete. Save and restore everything you can because parts will be hard to find, except for the engine and basics, like tires, bearings... But I would try to reuse as much as possible in a restoration.

I would love to have it. Congrats on finding it and good luck with the rebuild!
