1976 Rampar

just picked this beauty up yesterday. It has a broken front axle.
Any offers? anyone ever ride one of these?

I wanted one of these soooo bad when I was a kid. Well . . . younger. I got one from a friend in high school. I bent a few axles on that thing. I put Skyway mags on it and had NO brakes. Ahhh the good ol' days when we were fearless and our parents paid the hospital co-pay! Awesome find, Gary! Thanks.

awesome bike , For some reason not a whole lot of these are around and they are hard to find information on. I think a lot of it had to do with kids trying to find out how hard you could beat on the thing. If anyone has them Im looking for a tank , # plates and a front fender for mine

Awesome looking thing that!
I'm beginning to REALLY like the Rampars.

Does it have any markings or decals on it?

i remember them the one i remember seeing had a big white MX in white on the backof the black seat..thats what i remember most about it guessing it stood for moto cross

that bike is hard core chaos, I salivate at the thought of how cool it is to cruise down the main drag on one of these...when i was in grade 6 my friend had one..bought it as is (or was) for about 20 canadian dollars from a garage sale...my favourite thing i ever rode on...that was 10 years ago, loved it so much i bought the next moto bike i could get my paws on...biggest restoration ever...balded tires and a nice overcoat of jet black spray paint. we gave that bike hell and back....most of the stories about these bikes are true...kids just tried to demolish them, I think they are THE best thing since the invention OF the bike itself!!! try to find one, I've only seen one downtown in 10 years...if I'd been carrying bolt cutters...the jig would be up!
if anyone has one of these bikes...we have business to talk..and anyone that has one of these knows how hard it is to get them going again...the story about the bike in the creek is just too cool...I can't stop imagining your joy to find it there after so many years...keep on riding these bikes, they are legends larger than life to me. peace!

I had one when i was six. my uncle found it in the trash in maple shade n.j I had to give it back to him once my cousin was old enough to ride it. I asked to have it back and he gave it away!!!! I want to get one again someday.

tglee · 2008-06-10 9:07pm

I had one. I remember it being very heavy (at least for a 7 year old) and having really short cranks.
Nice find. I havent seen one in 30 years.

I need a tank for a similar bike I have.

prince86 · 2009-06-23 4:06pm

Can anyone provide information on repairing these bikes I have one. The handle bar clamps which attach to the frame are broken & I can't find replacements or anyone that knows about this bike.

New pics today, trying to get some better shots for you alll...Chers

pandaBMX · 2012-07-24 11:52am

My brother had one I want to saw he got it about 79, before we started to race & that was in 81.
All of us used to use it to jump as many thing as we possibly could on it. We would start at the end of the road, get up a good head of steam, hit our make shift ramp & go for it, many classic wipe outs. Don't know what ever happened to it, probably traded it for another bike? By the end the tank & fenders were broken & gone.
