1970 Muskin El Gato 80 cc Fuji
1970 Muskin El Gato 80 cc Fuji
Definitely qualifying for special footnote status in the history of minibikes is the Muskin El Gato 80, a rare find indeed. With its one-piece fiberglass gas tank/seat structure finished in Chrome Yellow, the El Gato was hard to miss. Bigger than most minis at 125 pounds, company literature referred to the bike as a "midi-cycle." It was amply powered by a four-speed, 6.6-hp motor supplied by Fuji, the same company that provided Hodaka with powerplants. A leading-link front end also set the Muskin apart from run-of-the-mill lawnmower-powered minibikes.

This 1970 example has seen 0 miles since full restoration earlier this year.
Sold for US$ 1,150 inc. premium
