These came out last year in the US but haven't see any at the local dealers. Thought might make a cool little bumper bike for around the campsite. Looked on line and the only place I could find one was in Manitoba and the price was all in just shy of $8000.00 so I guess thats why there is none here. Looks like it would be a fun toy but not at that price.

Yea I suppose I could just swap out the tires for something a little more off road but the monkey bike looks cooler reminds me of the Z50 from back when I was a kid doesn’t matter anyway don’t really need one it is odd there is such a big price difference as like you said basically the same bike

If they appreciate like the z50, maybe buy one and in 50 years it will be worth 25k

Yea the Z50 and CT70 people sure want a lot of cash for those old bikes but if I buy one now in 50 years I will be dead so probably not a good investment

You could fill the tank for less than $ .25 with leaded gas.

We had a little Kawasaki KV75. It was a little 2 stroke with oil injection. The little bike had a ton of power for its size. It rode circles around the little Honda 50cc mini-bikes. I remember bending and straightening so may axels on that thing that dad finally upgraded us.
