Design Details Worth Noting
The bike’s frame sports a sleek black finish, while the fenders boast a refined gray. Contrasting graphics give the fuel tank and side panels a certain zing. Speaking of which, that fuel tank is all dressed up in Rubber Gray. Additional design touches include:
- Front and side number plates
- Rear grab handle
- Skid plate
- Side stand
Don’t miss the slight indentation on the right side of the fuel tank—adds character, wouldn’t you say?
Wheels & Suspension
This bike rolls on wire-spoke wheels sporting 16-inch front and 14-inch rear rims, tucked into drum-brake hubs wrapped in IRC tires. The suspension ticks off necessities with a trusty telescopic fork paired with dual shocks on the swingarm—smooth riding, guaranteed.
Control & Instrumentation
The cross-braced handlebars come fitted with some nifty features:
- Rubber-tipped clutch and brake levers
- Twist-grip throttle
- Ignition-cutoff switch
No fancy odometer or widgets clutter this classic—makes a case for simple pleasures, right? Mileage is anyone’s guess, but isn’t the joy of the ride what really counts?
Engine Specs
The heart of this beauty is a 72cc four-stroke engine. It’s got a kick starter because vintage never goes out of style, a Keihin carburetor for that perfect fuel mix, and a black exhaust with an upswept muffler for a dash of flair.
Power & Transmission
Power moves from engine to rear wheel through a four-speed manual gearbox, old-school style. Don’t forget, it’s driven by a trusty chain—nothing overly complicated to worry about, just you and the open road.
Ownership Details
This nostalgic ride is being sold without a title or registration, offered purely on a bill of sale. Ideal for those looking to relive the good ol’ days on off-road trails and whispering nostalgic tales of two-wheeled adventures.
