Not a Supercar, forgive me....

I haven't heard of a "Benelli" in years. I had a friend that had one in about '69 when I had my "Rupp".

It is a super cool bike. I think 60cc, and a 4 speed. Has Pirelli knobby tires, chrome toaster tank and fenders, rest is metallic blue. I bought it from the original owner, who I think bought it at Sears I recall him saying? I'd have to look at the books again. The tool kit is hilarious , has some little tire irons , a plug wrench, a combo open end, couple of tiny screwdrivers , and a feeler gauge - all wrapped in some kind of cloth bag with the Benelli globe logo on it. Stores in the tool box under the seat, opens from the side. I always wondered why you would need tire irons on two piece rims?

Speaking of looking for bikes, if anybody ever finds and early 1970's Yamaha TY80 or TY125 Trials bike, yellow and white, I will be their best friend for life. My first bike was a TY80 , I think a 1972, and I raced Junior Cross on it. Great bike, should have never got rid of it. I sold it to pay for the crappy Indian I bought in the crate...

Benelli Buzzer....damn...there used to be a place on Harlem ave. called Mini Bike World...we used to go there and drool over those Benelli's...they were all over the magazines too...never could get one though...we had to settle for a Jacques Penay !

Man now you are bringing back flash backs of my youth. I had a red Benelli and a Suzuki RM 80 and 125 not a Yamaha but cool. If we lived in the same neighborhood as kids we would have been racing each other all over the place

I will have to talk with Mom we have pics of the Yamaha 60 somewhere..pretty rare bike even back then...I found a odd duck a few years ago..you guys ever heard of the Kawasaki 75cc "Dynomite" pretty similiar to the trail 70 in looks but this dude is oil injected 2 stroke and gets with the prograhm, auto clutch takeoff with three gears..does this

I had a 1972 Yamaha 60cc mini enduro, 1973 Yamaha 100cc enduro, 1976 YZ 125 Monoshock (1st one on the east coast), then a new YZ 125 ever year until 81 when I stopped racing..Then I got a CR500 in 92 which I still have and I also have a Polaris Magnum 325 and a Yamaha 2003 WR250F four stroke which is a blast to drive in the Jersey Pine Barrons here..Also have a couple of blasters that need motors if anyone is interested..

I'm looking for info, parts etc for a Malagutti Motorik Jr
minibike. My wife rode it as a kid and I want to get it going again. She was born in 72 so it must be early/mid 70's.
Anyone heard of these?

How about a Taco 100 with those big tires, jackshaft and a Briggs 5 HP motor. Wow!
