GTMX-80 - Here's the Mini-Motocrosser for all kinds of "kids" - including the grown-up ones.

Safety and handling features include Enduro front forks, heavy-duty rear shocks, a sure-shifting 4-speed gearbox, safety-stop brakes, universal knobby tires and a Federal Forestry-approved spark arrester. A fat-tire putt-putt it's not. A scaled down version of the larger MXer, it truly is. 1973 Yamaha GT-MX 80 Mini-Cross Original Brochure available at www.DadsVintageAds.com CLICK THE PICTURE TO "BUY IT NOW"
