Dude, I think you have my old Cat Hustler. :thumbsup:
The last time I saw it was around 1980 upstate NY in Greenville off RT 32 in the Catskills.
That looks like the seat I put on it after the sissybar broke.
I think it said Rupp on the back of the seat.

I put that seat on its from my bridgestone tora. I put the seat back wheel and engine on it. when i dragged it out of the woods it was just the frame and front end. But hey it could be. It had 25 years to get to vestal so who knows :biggrin:

Wanted to jump in and say hello from Fallon Nevada, always thought the 250X, and 350X were the best mini frame designs ever, had a 250 as a kid, and now at 46 years old, and a mechanic by trade, both motorcycle and auto, realize it's long overdue to restore a 250. So I'll keep my peeps on this thread and absorb all the great info, and keep looking for that 250 project..:thumbsup:

Who knows maybe it is, you aer not to far from were I last have seen it.
I did have rear break issues and they did not work so I put a scrub brake on the clutch.
We were at my brothers house in the Catskills and my farther bought me one used for my 10th birthday in 74 and I loved the bike.
I'd love to get another one one day.
Nothing like having it as a kid thou and I put it to good use.
