Mitch,

I want to get one of those for my son. The Jr50 was the first bike I ever rode. I was about 7 or 8yrs old and to me that bike looked like a real dirt bike just smaller. Terrific bike and can take a lot of abuse!

I took a long break from bikes after that and in my teens I had the oppertunity to ride that same bike again. I barely fit on it, but it was still fun. After that I found a 73' RD350 in a barn. That too was a great bike. Very fast!

It is an awesome little bike Ron Smile

It needs loads of new parts like tires, cylinder and piston, and the plastic just to name a few
This thing looks to have had a hard life for sure.
