I have 2 Rickman's, just wondering if they are worth anything. The 1971 runs good, The 72 is a roller with the engine in a box,the carb and piston are mia, but the cylinder and head look to be in good shape.

Not sure how much they are worth, but AHRMA does have the Classic 125 class for them and more than one person has also wedged a SL125 engine in them.

Got pics? I'll help pass them around.

Oddly, the Zundapp 125 Rickman's don't command too high a price. A nice on is affordable in the $1200-$1500 range. Most people cut their teeth on Elsinore 125's and look for them.

I have one I rode/raced in a vintage event. Fun to ride, but I am not too competitive (aka SLOW!) but enjoyed it. Ran good and I didn't have to push it back.

Some folks are probably looking for one here or there.

I have an old frame I plan to but a 250 British four stroke in one.

As soon as time permits.....

Basically had to give away a '73 Rickman - Zundapp enduro model years ago. It was in good shape, except the engine was apart.

If you ever split the case on one, be ready for a ball bearing shower. There must be a couple of handfuls of them in that gear box.

One bearing for each false neutral. Had one in 1973. 13 years old, 6ft 2, 195lbs. Needless to say, wasn't much fun trying to keep up with those new Hondas.
