Mini Bike

[Jimmy85]

Wondering what to do with this thing. First trying to find out what it is and roughly what year it might be from? Any input?
I was a young teenager in the 90's when my dad & I found it at the scrap yard. I can remember sand blasting the frame in the driveway and a friend of his painting it. Tangerine orange with rainbow metal flakes! (it was the 90's..). No more reminiscing. It's being sitting in the back yard for over ten years now. Not sure if I want to sell it as is, get it running & sell or keep it. Only thing original is the frame.

A long time ago. I had just install the torque converter!

I heard those hogs get like 80 miles per gallon.

They haul ass when the tank is filled with nothing but 104 octane boost.

The spark plug melted down before we ran out of fuel though.

My Dad was not amused at the experiment.

It is not a Meyers Lynx, still cool I would put it around. On summer weekends there are a couple of youngsters that put around our neighborhood in the evenings. I'd have to go race them if it were mine lol

I’m thinking it may be a Rupp. The frame looks just like the bonanza models, but the fork spring set up is different.

I always wanted to over ride the governor to get those extra rpm’s I needed for top speed. I just couldn’t reach back far enough for the throttle linkage!
