Anybody in Michigan, got a running Suzuki RV90 1974 or newer they don't want anymore? It must have the title, and be capable of being registered again.
I'm really wanting to get one. It appears they are only like 2 inches larger each way than my Ken-Bar MB6 minibike, BUT, they have full suspension, (the Ken-Bar doesn't) and I like that idea! I probably won't be able to ride it just yet, since it's only 3 months since my back surgery, but I like planning ahead...
Maybe some money, maybe some trades, maybe both? Depends on the condition of the Rv90, and how much work and money if any is needed for restoration. Here's some things I have for your possible interest. Click the flickr link.
I also have a gold-ish / tan-brown colored minibike engine with clutch and band-brake around the clutch. It's a "Wards POWR-KRAFT 5HP 4 Cycle by Briggs & Stratton". Looks to be in nearly perfect condition, but faded color looking from being old. It's missing the carb and linkages to the governor, which I never noticed before. I suspect my son stole the carb, and it's laying around somewhere, but I don't know for sure. Turns over nicely by pull starter, so not locked up. I don't have pics of that at the moment. I can get them if needed... Came off an old frame my kid got years ago, when I wasn't interested in mini bikes at the time. I have no idea what the bike was. He sold the frame at a garage sale years ago.
P.S. The Ken-Bar minibike is NOT on the table for trade at this time.
Also, I work alternating nights 6pm to 6am at present, and sleep days until 2:30pm, so expect any answers after I wake up.
