How many of you had this as a kid? Twice my parents came home with one for me after being left with the babysitter when I was a kid. They were the greatest toy possible in my mind at that time. One was Evil of coarse and the other was Batman. Just saw this ad and it brought back some memories.

I wanted that, but got a put together model bike instead. The little Evil doll, I always brought it with me, moving out of state or what ever. Evil is the 1st thing, I ever set up. Here he is , when I moved to west Texas oil field. As soon as I parked in Pecos Texas, I sent this pic. It means I made it. Haha

I had the original Evel Knievel stunt cycle back in the '70s. I got it for Christmas one year. Coolest toy ever.

Nice!

I had the one called a "superstunt dirtbike" which is very similar just not Evil sitting on the bike.

I ran mine so hard as a kid I needed new Dunlop knobbies on the rear...

Ramrod: I had the Superstunt Dirtbike too! It was basically an updated version of the Evil toy. I've been thinking of picking up a re-release Evil toy for fun. Haha

You guys keep calling him "Evil." You know his name was "Evel," right? Or do you think he's so gnarly that it's Evil evil?

My mom bought the Evel toy for my cousin for X-mas. I tried it out but thought it needed more traction in the back yard dirt. So I cut the rear tire like a paddle so it could hook up on the launch.
Boy did I hear about that.

Had Evel as a kid in the late 70's and wore it out. Got my son the re released Evel stunt cycle for this past Christmas.

Just received one of these as gift from my cousin this fall. He said this is the only jumping I will get to do know. I had a mishap in late August racing and broke many things.
