I'm going to show this to my dad tonight, he always wanted one of these for my sister and I, and now that he has grandkids, well.. We'll see. Either way, I can run this south down the 77/95 corridors if needed as I'll be near Bluefield for the next couple of days. (I'm pretty sure it will fit in the trunk of the car.)

Awesome. First motorized vehicle I ever operated. Had it when I was nine or ten. My understanding is that they have a bit of a cult following nowadays.

I brought it home last Saturday in our minivan with two adults and three kids. It should fit in a trunk; it's pretty small.

Yes, for some reason people love these things. If I was more ambitious, I would clean it and put it on eBay and make a few dollars.

I would trade my sweet Z50A pit bike for it.

Anyone can bring it to Florida? If so, I'll take it and give whomever is bringing it $100.

Would this be suitable for a 9-year old boy to ride? He has never ridden a motorcycle before.

Tall 9 year old. They aren't fast but I remember being 13 when I bought mine and it was a good fit. I wa S probably 5'6" or so. I'd think anything under 4'6" would be a push. I still ride mine comfortably and I'm 6'4"

I was not planning to, but if you want to bring it to Gainsville I am up for a roadtrip to pick it up.
