Anything Out there on These Things?
Looking to Tinker with it for a while and then prob sell. Can i restore it without it decreasing value? Or should i just leave it in its original condition?

Very nice find. :thumbsup: In my opinion you should leave it original since it is in such good shape and everything works.

Moto Skeeter minibikes were made for 2 years, 1971 and 1972, by the Moto Ski snowmobile company out of Quebec, Canada (I can't remember the name of the city at the moment). There were three models of minibikes available, the 450 (rated at 4.5hp), the 550 (rated at 5.5hp) and the 650 (rated at 6.5hp). Each motor was a 2-stroke made by BSE out of Japan. In 1971 the 450 and 550 shared the same frame design, and then in 1972 the 550 shared the same frame as the 650.

I'm so jealous it hurts. I've been looking for one In decent shape for the last 3 years. My older brother and I had one as kids. And my father convinced my uncle to buy one for my cousin because they were for sale together. I can only remember driving it a couple of times. It took me a month to figure out what manufacture and model mini bike we had. All I could remember is that the exhaust was the same as my father's Suzuki TS 185 and it was orange. Between my uncle, father,brother and Internet we were able to piece the puzzle together. A 1971 moto Skeeter 650. Wish I had your barn finds skills.

P.S. Wanted: 650 moto skeeter
