Mini Chopper – 1970 Bonanza CR500

In America, Cruiser, Small Displacement by Abhi2 Comments

This insane idea by Bonanza took a Hodaka Ace engine and threw into a mini chopper frame, presumably creating the world’s greatest wheelie machine for little riders.

You also got a 5-speed transmission, drum brake in the rear, and then…not much else. The seller claims this is a full restoration though the intake and air cleaner are wrong. No matter how correct this is, I don’t see a way you ride this without maiming yourself within a mile or two.
