Sears was phasing them out and they had them on sale $175 dollars. So I bought one. My first motor vehicle. A great around town bike, but could beat you to death on a long trip. The list price on them was from 4 to 5 hundred dollars. I see they are going for several thousands now.
They were built for really good fuel mileage, good torque down low but not much power up in the higher rims. Not as much power as a modern (70s) 2-stroke.
What bliss it is to ride on a empty road like that one,on a bike that sounds really nice.lucky you.

I rode a '48 Indian Chief, buddy had a twingle. Loved twingle's styling.
Fantastic ride.... it climbed well for a 250... never gave up
MAN! You really got some COOL rides! Even your lawnmower (Lawnboy) is cool!
Nice video Doug 👌 enjoyed the ride along.
sweet ride!
Did a 250 twingle out perform a typical 250 single 2-stroke ? How about longevity?
