Root Beer

This Yankee Peddler was built from the frame up. The engine was rebuilt and a spacer added to allow a Puch 74cc Gila cylinder to fit. The modified Tomos seat looks like it was made for the bike, and provides a much more comfortable ride. We took our inspiration from a 1932 Ford pickup for the color scheme —root beer candy flake powder coat with vanilla cream rims. Altogether, this bike is low, comfortable, and fast.

Do any of these bikes actually get ridden?

The seat looks slick, nice work! It's cool to see another V1 Gila'd Yankee Peddler out there. @Dan I see 63 mph with my current carb and gearing w/17" wheels...I suspect this to be similar. The Gila loves V1

What kind of speed can you get on that setup?
