Another Mini Bike that was on my wish list when I was in High School was the Honda 70 Mini Trail. I really enjoyed building this MPC kit; it was simple but fairly well detailed. Despite the fact that the model was molded in red, I had didn't have any problem with the red bleeding through or discoloring the green. I merely primed it with Aclad white primer, then applied the base coat and cleared it. The bike was done in Tamiya TS 20 Green Metallic paint. My only problem with the kit was that the cables were a little too thick, but other than that its a great kit! I was going to dull the chrome on the engine, but decided it would look better as is. I am going to do another build on this kit when I get around to it. Maybe the classic red, but I still can't make up my mind.
If you feel you missed out on something when you were younger, they are still plenty of Chinese knock-offs of this design that have been fitted with 125 cc engines. From what I have read about the Chinese clones there are large variations in quality, so do you homework if you decide you have to have one.
