On the top right of the ad it says "50-650". I assume that is the displacement range of the bikes they sold at the time. I know what the 650 was, but the 50 I have no idea, anyone have a pic of that bike?

Not positive, but it could've been this 50cc two-stroke Coyote mini. I know they were offered as a 69 model year, but may have been available for purchase in mid-late 68 too just as our Triples were sold mid-year of the year before the model year.
