Is this a Rupp?

[Danminibike]

I have searched all over trying to figure out what this minibike is, if someone could tell me I would love it. So far the people I have talked to say Rupp, IDK.

I do not think that's any sort of Rupp. At least none that I've ever seen.

 

[Danminibike]

I didnt think so either but it sure is a weird looking minibike.

It's a Rupp,

I think that it is the extremely rare and valuable hump back model.


No, seriously it's a rupp with a butchered frame that someone tried to make higher. The mount for the gas tank is still there but bent into a mess. It will take some cutting and welding to return it to what it should be.

I have owned this bike for a long time and never done anything with it, except paint and new seat, and other minor things. I can see some rewelds under were the seat is in the back where the frame goes down, but I still dont get why it tilts down in the front. It would have to be were a gas tank went. Thanks for all the info people. I really appreciate it. New to the site and love the responce.:thumbsup:

Yeah, I posted a what is it, when it was for sale on Craigslist.. I hoped someone would tell me it wasn't a Rupp, but.. :laugh:

Yes, that whole dip-dee-doo area is all fcked around. They chopped it bad.. But it would be worth unchopping for sure.. I actually considered buying the bike, being it has the right wheels and stuff.. But couldn't justify it, being we have SO MANY other bikes for sale in MI.. so I just left it and kept the money for the next one that popped up...

Yeah it's nice one.. It's all fcked around, but several thousand people would love to own it.. :shrug:

Well Thank you guys for helping me out. I still got lucky and put a 6.5 horse engine on it and sold it.
