The seller would like you to know: “Hope you enjoy looking at this piece of history that now is modernized with a 150cc engine and the 4-speed manual transmission which was only stock on the H models. The paint is stunning with nipples on the tires. We have had this for around a year and have put less than 1/4 mile on it. If I saw fun in the dictionary, I would like to see a picture of this mini-bike.”

I'm verging on Honda Minibike hoarding status myself... Nothing like a 60 something year old man circling the cul de sac with a huge grin on his face. My wife says the neighbors are not laughing with you, they are laughing at you. No worries, I get the last laugh!
