This is a barn find, the gas tank is new looking in side. No sign of wear on anything. Starts and runs perfect. Would be the envy of anyone at Hodaka days in Oregon.The tires still have the nipples on the knobbies. This bike was never titled, so it will be sold with a bill of sale and you will be able to be the first titled owner. There is some rust on the pipe where it was leaning up against the inside of the barnEL GATO ALL-FAMILY MIDI-CYCLEAn odd-looking little bike, El Gato (Spanish for "the Cat") claimed it was not a mini-bike, but a midi-bike, whatever that is. Like many bikes of the very early '70s, it used a Fuji engine, the fore-runner of the Hodaka. Here's what the company had to say about El Gato in their advertising literature: The Muskin Corp. is introducing El Gato, a thoroughly tested all-family midi-cycle. Powered by an 80cc Fuji two-stroke, single-cylinder engine, the bike delivers 6.6 hp, has a four-speed, constant-mesh transmission and curb weight of 125 pounds. Well balanced on a 44-inch wheelbase, El Gato's overall length is 67 inches with seat height of 27 inches. The 3.00 x 16 knobby tires give maximum traction. The machine's seat-tank combination is finished in chrome yellow. Leading link front and swing arm rear suspension, front and rear internal expanding 105mm brakes, noise emission-approved spark arrester exhaust, flexible fenders and folding footpegs complete the package.
