The tank emblem looks something like one from Bennelli. Rebadged for Sears?

Is that a Zundapp?
Edit: My bad, it's a Puch...

[DaveR]

This bike is labelled as a 1961 Puch 250cc. Some details are the same as in Chucks', others not, and yes it looks Puchy.

Sears used a few manufacturers under the " Allstate " brand and Puch was one of them. Below is a picture of 1965 Sears Allstate Puch........

Guys, is it standard fare for there to be only the one mirror????

[Nessism]

I think the minimum legal requirement is for one mirror on the left.

LOL...sure...post a friends cycle up here for sale, then say "actually, I want it".

All kidding aside, there's two things to note about this cycle-
A} "Sears" never made anything with it's name on it {kenmore too}...except for maybe for craftsman, and we all know how that just recently changed. {ugh}
B} she's kind of got a unique charm to her...screams old school/one of a kind.
C} ...how on earth would ya "cafe" that?!

{btw- you ever fix that tank cap seal?}

[chuck hahn]

No its still a little cracked..isnt seeping but I sure would like a source for buying just the seals. I will get to it eventually...maybe..I hope.

Cap- {Remind me to snap a pic of my old one....if it's better than yours you can just pay the cost of shipping...if you'd want it}

As for the cycle - I'd say buy it {a tad cheaper would be better though}, but like any other two stroke out there, your main worry is crank seals being good...sitting or not. A leak down test would help to know the up front condition, but even if she's ok now, they can go bad from use and burn the cylinder{s} down - found that out the hard way on my old ski-doo T'NT.
Add- is that a premix or injected bike? {I'd lean towards the 1st of the two, at a guess}.

This one says Sears on the seat.
