RIDE


East on Maverick III

This is the hottest import bike now available in America...it has the rugged heart and stamina of a lion...with the sure-footedness and thrust of a mountain goat...all with the nice easy motion of a seagull in a blue sky. The powerful engine (4.5 HP - 2 Strokes), dual brakes, front and rear shocks, and a big comfortable seat give a ride like you've never had on a bike...any kind of a bike.


West on Maverick II

A strong, sturdy, American made bike, designed and built to roll like a ball and climb like a cat...a carefully worked out engine (3 HP - 4 Cycle) ratio to weight, plus front and rear shock absorbers, gives the rider a sure, soft, comfortable ride...dual brakes gives the bike a positive reliable braking system for all-the-time road safety. Get on and take a ride. You'll never want to get off.
