What the photos show
- Small yellow Indian mini dirt bike with red pinstriping, Indian script on the tank and seat tail, and white number plates carrying a black 1.
- Knobbly tyres front and rear look new, still carrying mould whiskers, and are marked NOT FOR HIGHWAY USE; brakes are drums at both ends.
- The little finned single and carburettor look clean in repeated close frames, with a blue fuel line, an NGK plug cap and a black perforated exhaust guard.
- Controls are simple bars with waffle grips, alloy levers and a red kill button; a small black bar pouch is fitted, and there are no gauges or lights.
- Light surface rust shows on the rear shock springs and lever pivots; the black seat looks smooth and unmarked.
- One frame shows a loose Dell'Orto SHA 14.12 carburettor photographed separately on a bench, apart from the carb fitted on the bike.
- Can't judge from photos: whether it starts or runs, compression, or any title/paperwork for an off-road mini.
Money: $5,500 asking buys a tidy yellow M5A mini on fresh knobbly tyres with a spare Dell'Orto carb shown; verify it starts and runs, confirm the spare carb is included, and check what paperwork exists before bidding.
