Looks like a 2 or 3hp Briggs. The rims alone are worth $60. Buy first ask questions later.

Hey thanks, i will talk to the guy later on today! Just thought I could get some info on it, not sure what year it is or anything, these Bonanza's seem popular on these boards, is it because everyone had one as a kid, or are the parts hard to get for it?

I have no idea why they're so popular. The only one I really like is the Bonanza Chopper. The Bonanza gurus will jump in soon with info.http://www.minidoodle.com/id267.htm

Damn Dude!!!

That's a full suspension bike! I'd gladly pay double.

If it ran well. I'd even pay $200.

Wish I could find a bike like that.

That is one thing I have learned about shopping on Craigslist the product is usually close at hand and if a phone number is given and this part or mini bike is what you want. You have to PUSH YOUR ISSUE don't say I will be over Saturday go NOW Push the issue they put the ad in wanting a sale. I also e-mail them and give them your reachable phone number. The longer you wait the more chance you will loose out.
Kevdawg you knew it was worth a lot more money and of course you want it for as low as you can get it but that bike was worth a whole lot more that the original $60.00 asking price.
Sorry you missed out but keep looking it will happen . Steve
