Scrap Yard Rupps

[72Blizzard340]

I asked my uncle, who owns a scrap yard if he had any mini bikes. He did and I brought home these Rupps and a Go Joe(no pictures of the Go Joe).

Who would scrap complete rupps ..

 

[mlanzoni]

Nice instant collection. The bike with the longer forks and bigger wheels may be a 1970 model, Enduro maybe, still a Rupp.

Thanks, I really like the Rupp's. They will clean up nice. People scrap lots of good stuff. I have 3 decent mini bike (with motors and clutches) that people threw in the scrap! Oh well, I guess I will have to keep em.

You better be sending that Uncle a Birthday and Christmas Card. Awesome score! Ask your Uncle if he is looking to adopt a 40s year old kid. LOL

Looking at the motor plate it is a 71 and later Rupp. Most likely was a Roadster that someone modded the forks and handlebars and changed out the rear shocks.

This should help you out. The little red bike is a Ruttman.

 

[SaltCoupe]

Score! Diggin the Ruttman (but hey that's just me). Congrats!

 

[owend]

I only wish that my Uncle was as cool as yours!!!!! Nice finds and keep it going!

 

[trailramdan]

I thought that was a ruttman....wish it was mine lol

Are they rare? Never head of one till someone told me what it is? I don't know very much about it. Wrong motor, what did it have originally?
