Post Listing Update: This Silver Shadow did not meet reserve despite 26 bids up to $7,500.
I’m not a huge fan of minibikes, but this is one of the most collectible of them all. Don’t believe me? Well, bidding is already up to $7,300 with plenty of time to go in this auction. I’ve seen one or two non-definitive mentions that just 22 were built in 1970.
Speedway was formed in ’70 by some ex-Rupp employees who apparently weren’t happy with how that company was doing. They started a factory in the same town (Mansfield, Ohio), and created some iconic minibikes – the Silver Shadow was one of the faster ones, thanks to a Sachs 125cc engine.
