Hi Joe!  I have been looking at these myself.  If I am going to ride a minibike I would want it to be one of these. (I have a complete MTD and another to bomb around on)I have been contemplating on buying one. I have a brochure for these.

Thanks for the welcome...
i have done ruttmans and lil'indians...My father was a lil'indian dealer in the 60-70s and i only had one mini bike my whole childhood.I was the kid who was asking every one else "hey can i ride you mini bike"
and they would usually say no my mother says not to let anyone ride it.Well im a little older now and things are different.I have restored 6 so far,and if you come over my house you can ride them all you want...
