I don't have a Minibike that I miss but I do miss the 1972 Honda CB450 I had :doah: Long forks, raked frame stock 
ut: my motor and tranny were all reworked, I had it doing 145 up hill :scared: and it would eat up and spit out 900's all day long :devil2: this isn't mine but is the same, mine had a king/queen seat and hooker tt headers and I took off those bars and put a normal set on :thumbsup: it was real hard to keep the front wheel on the ground :doah:

I don't regret selling any of my minibikes or other machines really, not even the Hot Shot. I buy most of them to sell to begin with but have a few favorites. I like the wheeling and dealing part of it and know that the next minibike or trail scooter score is just around the bend, just a matter of watching and waiting. I do wish my region of the country had more minibikes for sale but I do OK, got my eye on a few and am waiting for the guy to need some $ so he'll sell them to me. I have bought several from him over the past couple of years and he's fair with the prices.
I'm pretty sure my unknown bike I am redoing is an Industrial arts/shop class project from the mid-late 60's. there is an array of different techniques that they used in constructing it. might not be the best design, but I bet that would have been a really neat class to be in :thumbsup:

My first "store bought" mini bike.. 1972 Speedway Black Shadow with it's 80cc Sachs 2 stroke spinning a TAV unit. These bikes were awesome performers!
I beat everyone in the area,Chibi's,Mini Trails,Gemini's,Rupps,,then someone got a Hodaka Ace 100 and I was no longer the fastest!!
Always has been my favorite & ALWAYS WILL BE:bowdown:
