Vehicle Detail

I am relisting this item, the winning bidder suffered a stroke and I don't want to force the sale. Its a 49cc 2-stroke that has a 2 speed manual transmission with a clutch and it runs great!. Cables are free(just oiled) tank is clean. Super original ..Rare These little 2-strokes have been known to get up to 100 MPG!!!!!! It has a kick starter with no battery-less maintenance. My research shows the brand is "Riga" made in Latvia I believe from the late 80's possibly early 90's. Has a Quality feel and due to the low miles it feels "fresh and tight" HAS APPROX 50 MILES (70km) SINCE NEW!!!! May have a couple more miles....I love riding it! Has mild wear that comes with age(see pics) Great for cruising those bike meets / car shows / swap meets.Use it to run errands.... go to school. It is very light, easy to load. Goes around 25-30 MPH, could easily be made to go faster. Kind of reminds me of the Honda mini trail 70, uses the same size 10" tires. Also looks like and old Suzuki Kawasaki or Yamaha 2-stroke . Many of the parts are standard (tires, cables ,bulbs). For a reasonable price the Cometic Co. can make gaskets, bearings/seals are standard. Europe has all kinds of small 2 stroke stuff. Could be registered for street(check local laws, some states have minimal laws for motorcycles under 49cc) the ID plate is sun faded and I don't see a VIN. I don't have a title but can provide a bill of sale. The left front turn signal isn't blinking and the headlight only has high beam... other than that the electrical is good to go( tail light/brake light , horn etc) Over several days of sitting a minimal amount of oil reaches the ground. Pick up is prefered but I will consider shipping. My friend just shipped a minibike from California to Florida and shipping and handling was about 195.00 you can use that a ball park number. I hear Grey hound is cheap and there is a station near me. The minibike is around 90 lbs so you can ck pricing from Huntington Beach, Ca 92647 to your area .THANKS ....good luck
