Hey fellow mini bike addicts, I havent been on the forum much in the last couple years. Been getting back into minibikes quite heavily lately. Somewhere between 20 and 30 again.

Funny enough, I was on my way home from picking up a lighting coil H70 Tecumseh and right as I pulled in the driveway I checked marketplace and this engineless Retek Cheetah popped up for sale about a mile from home! Crazily enough, its the RT250 that would have taken a H70 with lighting coil. Talk about timing!

Didn't ever hear the history about the bike though. The engine is gone, tires are brand new, seat and chain guard are minty and the chrome still has unwiped polish on it. Its like someone was part way through cleaning it and just stopped.
