So now that I know what this is MB1210 TC, I've done some research and came up with very little.
Should I be restoring this bike properly? Is it that rare? Or can I just make it a nice rider for my kids?
Do any members have this bike? I can't find any pictures of this exact bike restored.
So far I've serviced the clutch, gave it an oil change and lubed everything up. Runs great. I ordered a new brake lever and fuel line. Worried about replacing the carb with a non-original if I should just be rebuilding. The choke is pretty loose.
Any advice is appreciated. Don't want to wrong by the bike.

I cannot tell you what to do, but in my situation I recently bought a 74 ct70, and feel I overpaid, but I look at what some of them sell for, and realize that it was worth it. Now what I really was nervous about was letting my son ride it, he has never shifted gears before, but got it right away. My back was feeling somewhat better on Thanksgiving, so I let him ride that, I rode the db30, we rode for a while and had a blast. Anytime I start that ct70, he comes right out, cant wait to get on it. You can always try to find another mini, for the kids, but they will still want to ride that one also. Good luck
Hope no one minds reviving an older thread.. However--I just picked up another old mini to fuel my enjoyment of these little machines after selling off my Heald Super's a few years back..
I have every reason to believe it's a Bonanza MB, possibly the "TC" version with the taller jackshaft plates. Is there a way of telling whether or not the forks (with "fixed" handlebars) would have been original as equipped? Or-could there realistically been a number of different options as built? Also--with the fixed bars and no front "number plate" on the forks--is there a way of identifying the build number or serial? I'll post pics later--or start a new thread if preferred. (My girlfriend may not be thrilled to see it in the garage--but she will be when she rides it later!!)
