Early 1980s Yamaha minicycle rocking horse with running & revving engine sound. This was a factory promotional item found in some of the dealer showrooms back then. I "rescued" this one from a flea-market vender that did not want to drag it back home.

Thank you for the comment! I ride 'em, been riding since the '70s. Most of them I've bought, rode for awhile sold, bought more, so on & so on. I normally don't like to post an e-mail to avoid all the spam & junk. Not sure what would be a good way to do this?
Hi Nick,
My husband and I came across this extact bouncy bike about 10 years ago except ours is yellow and black. I havent been able to find any info on it. Do you have any information or know where I can get some information about this.
We love the red and white you have. Have you considered selling it?
Thanks
Janna Roberts
Thanks for the comment Janna. I no longer have this rocker, I sold it years ago, but still wanted to post a pic. I was not able to find much info on it back then. Just that it was supposed to be a dealer promotional item back in the early-mid '80s. Do you have any pics posted of yours? I don't think that I've ever seen another, but I know there has to be more out there somewhere.
Thanks for getting back to me. I do have a pic but for some reason the site is having trouble letting me upload it. I set it as my profile pic but not sure if it worked or not. I can email you one if you want to give me an email address.
very nice condition , i also have one ,but with way more ware . thanks for sharing ...........
Thanks mikesbikes!
