4. HODAKA SUPER RAT
Wait a minute! What’s a minibike doing in this vintage collection in the first place? Simple, because if you want to get on a fun little bike and rev the hell out of it, then this is the bike for you. The Super Rat was probably the most honest dollar-for-bike value ever made. Kids would get one of these and thrash it for a year, and sell it for about 150 bucks less than they paid for it. Though certainly not the most astounding bike in this collection, it’s pure fun to hop on one of these toys and go completely nuts for an hour or so.
Rick “Super Hunky” Sieman puts on his thinking cap and produces a top 10 list of vintage bikes that are practical to own and ride, if there is such a thing.
