1961 MiniBike article

[JustEnough]

Interesting old article on minibikes. It starts on page 26.

You can press F11 to make the window bigger, and F11 again, to bring the menu bar back.

There are also some interesting ads for minis and "trailbikes" in this issue. I found the ad on page 44 for the Honda 50 trailbike to be interesting.

There are several early bikes that "there are only a few left" of. Rare doesn't always mean valuable. There aren't really any set values on minibikes, it's always determined by the buyer and the seller. The only way to find out what it's worth is to list it on ebay and see where it goes.....

Now where's the pictures of the bike????
