Hello
I came across your web site this Morning. I grew up on Rupp Mini-Bikes but can't remember the first model year I had but it was a Bright Yellow Ban-chi.I want to Think it may have been 1969 or Possibly 1970 It had a 3-1/2 or Possibly a 4 HP Motor. It would Not keep up with the Bennelli's back then, so the following year my Father replaced it with a model called the Goat. That one was Kelly Green with a Chrome Gas tank. It did not have Lights, But I remember it had a 5 HP Motor with a Jack shaft Two speed that ruined the jack shaft somehow. He them traded that one off for an Enduro. It was Orange with a Torque Converter and much slower than my Goat. He then swapped that one off for a Black widow. Those Four Mini-Bikes gave me hours of fun while growing up. I could Not find the Ban chi, or Goat in your Line up at all, does any one Know why or about when these models would have been made ? Thanks for any response. Best regards, Hammerdown
