1969 H25, this True mini bike from the factory version engine turns 52 in a few days on November 7th. Took alot of internal parts and a very expensive hard to find muffler to get it back in shape but came out really nice. $800 plus the ride.

Hey Marcus, how are you? Took a look back at your motor. Man......that's a beauty. I'm guessing you're probably going to make what..........25 cents an hour for the work you put-in on it? (little joke there, ha) I sold my last Lil Indian project frame to Zoom a while back. If I still had it, I'd probably jump on that. Just my opinion, but if it runs as good as it looks, it would be well worth the money. I'm guessing some may think 2.5 horses aren't enough, but I'd have to respectfully disagree. I think it's plenty enough to push those little wheels fast enough to potentially send any of us to the hospital for an extended stay. (ha) In fact, I'm currently working on a 2.5 HP Honda GXH50 for a project. Soon as I get far enough along, I'll post a pic. Anyway, stay well, and good luck with the sale.

Very beautiful work. Lots of attention to detail that ppl dont relize that goes in to brining these old engine's back. Allot of ppl say why do that when you can buy a new predator for 120bucks. your pics are the reason why anyone that can pick a knock off engine. over what came on there vintage mini bike is nuts. Id have a hard time not keeping her on display in my living room and not on one of my rider's.

Yes still available, but looks like you need the side saddle tank style to fit you application. Good luck in your search!
