\nWhen you think of a classic road-going Mustang<\/a>, visions of Blue Ovals and good ol’ Carroll Shelby likely begin dancing in your head. But there was a highly collectible Mustang in America way before Ford<\/a> decided what we really needed was an inexpensive sportscar for the masses. Instead of four wheels, the first Mustangs needed only two to get the job done.<\/p>\n

The original Mustang motorcycle was introduced in 1947 by a small company in Glendale, California. The diminutive machines used a small 122cc two-stroke engine from Villiers and wheels measuring a scant 12-inches in diameter. They weren’t exactly performance machines, but the Mustang got around pretty smartly nonetheless and allowed 20,000 new riders to hit the wide open road.<\/p>\n

Now, California Scooter Company<\/a> plans to launch a new Mustang to the American market, this time using a more environmentally friendly 149cc four-stroke powerplant, though still retaining the original dinner plate-size wheels. Three versions will be available; one standard model that’s tough to distinguish at first glance from the original, a (completely unfortunate) pink Babydoll version and a flat-black bobber called the Greaser. Alternatively, you can order a custom model just the way you want it.<\/p>\n

Production bikes are scheduled for availability in March for a starting price of $4,995 for all three models. Check out the image gallery below and click past the break<\/a> for a couple videos showing the bikes in action.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
