As most of you know, Sears offered motorcycles that you could order to get shipped to your door in crates (branded as Allstate, made by Puch), awaiting your assembly. Here’s one of the smaller ones, a 60cc Sears Cheyenne.
1932 Royal Enfield Cycar
Now here’s a rare bird – the Royal Enfield Cycar. Finding information on it has been tough, to say the least…but here’s what I’ve got:
1967 Gilera 106 Super Sport
This lovely little Italian is a fantastic rider that’s not cosmetically perfect – meaning you won’t mind riding it and possibly getting it dirty!
Needs Some Work – 1959 Yamaguchi Auto-Pet
Post Sale Update: This Yamaguchi sold for $1,250 after 2 bids on eBay. Yamaguchi used to crank out a whole bunch of 2-wheelers based around a 49cc engine, though eventually they went out of business and Hodaka took over. Here’s one of their tiny bikes – an Auto-Pet.
Rusty Bolt Garage – 1968 Yamaha AS1C
Built by Rusty Bolt Garage, this is a restored example of a tiny street scrambler that introduced Yammie’s ‘boost ports’, which helped power and torque due to an impressive increase in scavenging of the engine.
1981 Kawasaki AR80
Post Sale Update: This AR80 sold for $2,040 after 22 bids on eBay. Adorned in a repainted designed to emulate the original Firecracker Red, this little Kawi AR80 is a little two-stroker with style. Maybe not good style, but it’s got something. The 78cc engine produced about 10 horsepower, though this example ‘may’ have a big bore kit. This bike …
1974 Yamaha RD60
View Post1974 Honda CL125 Scrambler
Painted to look like a baby CL72 or CL77 – or even like yesterday’s gorgeous CB77, this little scrambler was obtained in non-running condition and has been totally restored with a new top end (though the seller includes the original if you want to re-bore the cylinder). It has 4,145 miles but just one hour on it since the restoration …
Cheapest I’ve Seen – 2014 Honda Grom
I love the Grom, but I haven’t seen one of these (even used) for less than $3k. Here’s one with 2,000 miles for a much more reasonable $1,950 or best offer. HURRY. Find it for sale in McComb, Mississippi here on Ducati.ms. If this was in Southern California I would have already bought it…
2001 Simson Spatz MSA
A scooter with a CVT, top speed of 30 miles per hour, and electric + kick start, this Simson Spatz is a rare two-wheeler – this example has just 10 miles, and didn’t have gas in it until this year.
1966 Honda S90
Post Listing Update: This S90 did not meet reserve with 23 bids up to $2,050. Even if reader David N calls it a scooter, I still love the Honda S90 – so I’m always excited to feature a solid example of the breed. Here’s one that’s claimed to run as well or better as new, thanks to a ‘complete restoration’. …
Tiny Rebel – 1979 Suzuki OR50
View PostIn Spain – 1974 Puch Magnum X
A 50cc dirtbike, the Puch Magnum X was produced between ’74 and ’79. Rated at a whopping 3.5 horsepower, it was the most powerful 50cc automatic engine Puch ever made. This example is claimed to be in spectacular condition with 200 miles (and a sweet bicycle horn). Find this Puch Magnum X for sale in Barrio de la Estacion, Spain, …
1975 Rupp RST100
Founded in 1959, Rupp Manufacturing started out as a kart manufacturer in Mansfeld, Ohio. Within 10 years, they had grown to a 400-employee shop pumping out mini-bikes, go-karts, snowmobiles, and what some people consider to be the first “4 wheeler” – the Rupp Go Joe. Here’s one of their rare mini bikes – the RST 100.
German Triumph – 1956 TWN 125
Most people think Triumph is an English motorcycle company. Of course, they’d be right, but they might not realize that the company was started as a bicycle manufacturer by a German named Siegfried Bettman in 1886. A decade later, Bettman created another bicycle company in his hometown of Nuremberg – he called it the German Triumph Cycle Company. 7 years …
