Vintage Taco Mini Bike Minibike Original Condition as Purchased in 1975 | eBay


Flip the tank around the way is should be, install a 2 stroke, sell off the taco guard and chrome clinton to help offset the cost :drool: Be interesting to see what numbers it pulls considering what some of them in the past have brought. There's some really good potential and some really neat parts!!!!

That's not to far from me.

My cousin bought a brand new Bug Flea like that years ago. They were painted orange. Yeah, the tank is mounted backwards to make room for that replacement motor. (so much for that "original" statement, eh?) As I recall, they came with a West Bend. Could be a nice restoration project. 86 the chrome. The forks were painted and the original tanks were black, as I remember. Sure wish those guys were still making bikes like that. While I'm dreaming, how about Michrina making a new Lil Indian frame that looks like the old ones. (ha)

BTW, what a hack job on those "reinforcing" plates. Those would definitely have to go and those "welds" be carefully cleaned, to say the least. I just wish this bike was closer to me.

I was wondering when someone was going to see this one? Some of the old Bug's did come with Clintons too. No its not one of mine...Its a nice old bike but she needs work and parts.. Thanks for sharing, HD
