Lot 33: Bembie MINI TOURING CRUISER MOTORCYCLE

This unusual small motorcycle is styled in the manner of the great American cruiser. Fat tyres, deep valanced front and a bobbed rear mudguard, pull back handle bars, bobbed tank, billet style rear wheel with whitewall tyre and belt final drive, a stepped seat with pillion backrest and, of course, lashings of chrome work all set the scene. Powered by a simple 70cc single cylinder engine with pull-start and centrifugal clutch transmission, this example has a recorded 16 kilometres (10 miles) having been mostly used for display work.� Scaled at approximately 2/3 of the size of the motorcycle it apes, it would make an unusual pit/paddock bike, far more comfortable than the 'mini moto' style and with room for a passenger if desired. With a full complement of lights etc., there would also be the option to register this machine for the road.
