What Are The Most Valuable And Desirable Mini's ?

Cushmans peaked in price years ago and have largely never recovered. Not likely

At their price peak (I'm thinking pre 9/11 attack here), you could go to a meet with seemingly every other bike for sale.

To this day, most on Ebay fail to meet reserve at those once elevated prices.

Been watching Ebay prices for years.

I want them all. Well not really ALL of them, but I really like the most of the old ones. The Sears bikes and Wards bikes are the most comfy to ride.
I really like the Simplex Sportsman. Not too common and really cool looking. Heres an all original one (not mine):


And here's mine:

This is an interesting question...What do you mean by "holy grail?" Worth the most? Rarest? Which ones we all like the most?

In terms of rare and worth the most...The Benelli Volcano's, Speedway Silver Shadows, Broncco Mini Monster and perhaps a Bonanza would qualify...BUT, that doesnt mean they are the holy grail per se...

I own a 1970 Broncco TX-6 and for me, it's the holy grail! I like it more than my Volcano. I have one that is restored and one that has a big bore 80cc kit on it for an everyday bike. So it really depends on what you are looking for. $$$/worth isnt the only factor.
