Wondering if some of you guys could help me determine the make/model of this bike. At the price, I'd be a fool not to pick it up. But I'd still like to know a little about it.

Looks like a Manco Thundebird.

I thought that but, was there a model with slanted engine mount? Mines flat.:shrug:

I always thought the Manco's had flat mounts myself, but what do I know lol.

Is there a disadvantage to a slanted mount?

I bought a HB Predator 212cc during Black Friday weekend sales. I got it for $59.99 with a coupon I had. I figured for that price, I could find something later down the road to have some fun on.

Some engines with float bowl carbs need to sit level. Need a special intake.
Don't know about that particular engine though.
