Post Listing Update: This Black Widow did not meet reserve despite 20 bids up to $3,610.
The performance minibike of the Rupp line, the Black Widow featured a 4 horsepower Tecumseh motor paired with a Dell’Orto carb. Hold on tight!
The Black Widow was introduced in ’71 and also featured a straight exhaust and 12″ spoke wheels with motocross tires. Leftover ’71 bikes were sold as ’72s and thus ended the Black Widow line.
The seat has a fake taillight!
This Black Widow apparently went through a complete restoration five years ago and it’s claimed to ‘run as good as it looks’. Find it for sale in Middleburg, Pennsyvlania with bidding up to $2,025 and the reserve not yet met
