My first motorized 2 wheeler. A Chieftain minibike purchased New from Toys R Us. Old number 7. :ROFLOL
It had a 3.5 HP Tecumseh engine that was considerably faster than the 3.5 HP Briggs & Straton on my buddies Lil Indian.

This was my Kawasaki F7 175 that was my second motorcycle after I completely wore out my little JT1.
This was a really nice bike, but it was completely different than my buddies who had CT3s. My bike was considerably faster on the top end, but it didn't compare in the low end responsiveness of the CT3.
