Mustang Motorcycle
The original Mustang motorcycles were built
in Glendale, Calif., from 1947 to 1965 and were extremely fun, small bikes
powered either by a 320cc side-valve single or a 122cc Villier’s 2-stroke, while
the transmission was usually a 3-speed Burman. During the almost 20 years of
production, approximately 20,000 Mustangs were built, making these quite popular
things to ride back in the day.
Nowadays, California Scooter Company is reviving the original Mustang
motorcycles at their Seidner’s Pomona, Calif. facility, where they have prepared
an aluminum 149cc 4-stroke single-cylinder engine for the retro bikes. These
will have a 27-inch seat height, measure only 6 feet in length and weigh 240
pounds wet.
The company actually plans to build three models, the Classic, Greaser and
Babydoll as well as a variety of Customs, all based on the original recipe,
meaning that California riders with a taste for retro motorcycles will be back
on 12-inch wheels soon.
