     I actually worked mig welding those frames at the factory in trf for a time right out of high school. Not very osha friendly dungeon to work in as I remember. The Chrysler powered minis were the most fun to tear around with. Lots of front end lifting torque available.

Hate to be pedantic, but as a former resident of Alaska:  it is spelled Arctic....

Cool little bikes.  Honda made a better one though....

One of my best friends had one of these and the hours we spent taking turns running through the wood trails in Est Grand Forks Mn and around Bad Medicine Lake are vivid memories.
fond memories are good but $800. Bucks ...that's crazy. Even with the lepord seat cover..
