I agree with both of you. I'm just not crazy about the disk brake ('68) Rupps. Besides that -- I know they can be found for much cheaper if you're patient enough

For free if you are lucky enough...:laugh::wink:

I have never been that lucky! And the ones I find are not in that condition either. At least originally when I first get them....:smile:

 

[Rupp 72]

Wow! sold for $4785. A very nice bike though.

 

[Biodude]

Not surprised. Very nice bike.

For that price, I would like to have the correct tires.....Just saying...

Looks like the Rupp TT500 is the new Bonanza/Hodaka!

Anyone know whats the most a mini bike has ever legitimately sold for?

This one is at the top right now.

And a few other things as well. But the fact remains that not everyone can restore a bike to that level, yet they still would like to have an icon . So they buy it when it becomes available. Same is true in the classic car market.

It's nothing new really, about ten years ago there was a guy restoring them and his regularly fetched $3-$5K, and his gas tanks went for around $800 or so...
