Buy this beast!

So I don't have to.

In case the ad dies:

Little green mini-bike with Honda CB350 swap. It runs, but needs some work. I got it in a trade and don't know anything about it. Come offer me a Ford 4.9 on a stand, Glock 19, decent TV, or anything else and take it home with you.

Looks like it was created just for you. Just think of the power to weight ratio. You better buy it!

I'm concerned about the power to brake ratio. :) Maybe do a front end swap with a 50 to get a disc brake up front? Would be a fun little hotrod...or a horror?

Would be fun if you had some land to run around on.
It's only illegal if you get caught.

If at first you don't succeed, use more lighter fluid

95% of Harley Davidsons ever made are still on the road... The other 5% made it home.

Brakes?  Since when does a minibike need brakes?  That's what Converse sneakers are for.

Honda seems to have taken some cues from this.
