Finally got my hands on one of these. Facebook trading post special
for $40

Been building carts for awhile and wanted to try my hands on a 2 wheeler.

Somebody really did a number on it though...lol

Someone rode it, broke it, tried to fix it, rode it, broke it..... Tried to forget it... Then sold it to you...

You still made out alright.. As most of it is there...
There is enough of them out there that you'll be able to ask for what the dimentions are for the lower rear end, and get that fixed in no time...

For sale: mini bike. Some frame damage. I repaired it but now the chain won't stay on. Make offer.

I'm betting it either got jumped or ridden by a big ol' boy. Or jumped by a big ol' boy.

Personally, I'd lop all that crap off and start fresh on the rear end.

I believe that is a Baja? They look very similar if not.


Anyway, good score!! If nothing else the wheels and tires are worth 40 all day.

I believe its the Coleman model and yes they are similar.

I liked Baja's because the fork plates and tubes seemed beefier....

They stopped making them......something to do with the front wheels on occasion falling off.....lol

kinda looks alike. my coleman.

if you want a honda clone, i saw some stuff on the new tillghmans motors. 180$ for a 10hp. run a torque converter to a 50 tooth, exhaust and intake/jet and hold on.

as mine sits, it does 47mph with the rev limiter still in.
