Really nice condition Steve, being about the same age I remember that bike was on every kids wish list back then.

Nice, I have my 1970 Honda mini trail 50cc and a friend of mine has the twin for yours. Ours are both about 42 years old. You might have motivated me to get that out and running.

I had one just like it in 1974!! Fun little bike. Great for taking to tractor shows now. Beats a golf cart and much easier to haul.

i remember riding a couple mini 50's in the desert of Tuscon as a kid, they were my first cousin's. had a blast. doubt if they still have them. sold a trail 90 from the early 70's i had on ebay a couple years ago. it was all orginal and complete. brakes froze up on it. son went over the handle bars. the new owner said he was going to get it to burn vegetable oil and ride it to work.
