You used to be able to buy these on ebay. Bill Buchholz sold them. But can't find them any more. And i direct emailed him with no response. Hoping someone bought them and does not need them. thank you.

Speaking of Ebay thought I just saw 14" wheels listed under minibikes. Not sure what model. Reason I even remembered was I don't recall ever seeing 14" tires for minibikes. I see a lot of 10 & 12" but kind of new to the minibike world so learning all the time. Thinking 14" tires would be more comfortable for adults?

Speedway had a number of 14" wheel models. the most common was Red Baron, Green Horn, Blue Angel with Tecumseh hs40 or hs50 engine. but they also had a Motocross 100 with a Sachs and a couple others with Sachs motors, but they are pretty damn rare. The tecumseh based models are pretty awesome, probably my favorite of the 1970s mini bikes (though the 10" speedways are up there too.) Here's the Tecumseh based models...

They are cool looking bikes and look more like a "real" motocross bike then any minibike I've seen (maybe it's the bigger tires). You are right about being rare, I haven't seen much Speedway bikes or parts in my few years in the minibike world.

I have three favorite spoke wheel minis... speedway, rupp, mtd. the 10" wheel speedways aren't technically spoked wheel, but i think of them as such.
