1972 Rupp Roadster 2 With Dellorto

Here is my 1972 Rupp Roadster 2 that I just finished restoring. It has a NOS Tecumseh HS40 4HP shortblock with the 3" ball bearing crank, about 90% of the bike was assembled with NOS parts. The bike also has the optional Dellorto carb and straight exhaust pipe, speedometer kit and rear grab bar.

This is great! I used to have one of those back in 1978. I miss that thing, many hours spent riding it.

My Neighbour had a RUPP dirt bike back in the 80's when we were young, it was definately made in the 70's....it had a purple tank - does anyone know what c/c or model that would have been?

You did an awesome job! I had one like this, same color, but it's was the "enduro" model.

Thanks for sharing!
