Rupp Roadster

[unclescott58]

I was just over on Round 2's website where they talk about upcoming kits. I was excited to see that they are going to reissue MPC's 1/8th scale Rupp Roadster mini bike kit! Another cool mini bike kit I missed picking up back when it was originally out (mainly because of lack of funds in those days). This, also like the Honda Trail 70, is a real full size mini bikes that a neighbor had at the time. And one I got to ride a time or two. Plus I always liked the looks of this particular version of the Rupp Roadster. It had a little different look from the other mini bikes out there, including the later Rupp Roadsters.

Now I hope they consider reissuing MPC's 1/8th scale Schwinn bicycle kits. Again, two bikes I personally never had in full size or model form. My best friend in Junior High and High School had a 5-speed Stingray. I don't know anybody who ever owned the 10-speed Continental. But, both are cool bicycles that I wish I could have boughten in the day. And wish I could today too.

Cool, will for sure buy a Rupp Roadster or two. Second the idea of reissuing the Schwinn kits too.

There were plans to reissue the Honda ATC90, but I'm pretty certain it was cancelled.

Why?

Why?

That question would best be answered by Round2

I saw a Honda 750.....must have.

I couldn't find the chopper and info?

Where did you get your information about the kit be produced or not produced in the first place? I get the impression from your posts, that you may have an inside line on what's going on over at Round 2. And since you said you were pretty sure they canceled it. I thought maybe you might know why? 

I'm not really all that interested in the Honda ATC90 myself. If they were to reissue it, I'd probably buy one. But, there are other old MPC non car kits I'd like to see more. Like the two Schwinn bicycle kits. Or the old Ski-Doo kits. But like I say, I'll probably buy the Honda ATC90 if they ever put it out again. I wouldn't mind seeing it come back.
