That is awesome! The speedometer, the compartments, the seats, fenders, light, the plate, key switch...sweet!! Back in the late 60's I remember snowmobiles having Sachs and also JLO motors.
Hi Gurra, I remember in the 80ties I saw two Monark with NSU 350 motors somewhere between Stockholm and Sundsvall at a petrol-station. You know more about them. The ILO 175 was used also for the UT. An old brand which was produced here in Stuttgart.
***** I talked with a neighbor who´s father had one of these, they made aftermarket parts for them, including a passenger seat with better padding lol RSMF
You didn't ride or knew anyone who rode Puch back in the day? My dad told me that was pretty much all they rode back then, and Sachs too. My first moped was a Puch Dakota, wish I didn't sell it now! Always started first kick in dead cold Swedish winters, such reliable mopeds! RSMF
That bike runs as sweet as a nut. Call her Jenny and you can be Forest. LOL Lucky guy getting a new bike at 16, we had to make do with an occasional ride on a Honda Cub.
That is a sweet looking bike! Will you do a total teardown rebuild or keep the weathered look? It sounds like the motor is in really good shape. Thanks for sharing this and good luck.
Hello, We are restauring our Monark M400. Do you happen to know about the electrics in this cool bike? Or do you have wiring diagrams or anything like that?
Unfortunately not. But search on Google, I found this for example www.eriklinding.se/ilo-motorcykelmotorer/25-litteratur-instruktionsbocker-reservdelskataloger-mm/reservdelskat-monark-m400/
Tjena Gurra, jag undrar hur hög sitthöjden är på den modellen? Jag funderar på att skaffa en själv men är lite svårt att avgöra om jag skulle sitta "bekvämt" på en. Är 185 cm lång^^

rlove2bike Cheers bro, cool i didn't know that.
Wow...cool-looking Suzuki you had as a kid.
The Monark looks so vintage. Yeah, that old license plate is pretty cool.
WheelsNotHeels I´m preparing for old age when i´m 90 i can always ride that Monark lol
Nice old school ride and thanks for sharing some of your background.
***** Glad you like it bro!
What a fantastic bike. In great condition considering her age. Looks like fun to ride.
***** It´s very different from my Fazer, but just as fun :)
Very cool and seems to run very nice...
Love J LO wish her sister was in my garage. Impressive collection your building Samcro, the new Jay Leno of motorcycles ;>)
Bikes & Drones Not everyone can say they have ridden JLO haha

Cool, thanks for watching!
Looks like it could be an adventure every time you ride it. ;->
Such a cool looking bike and it sounds like it runs good!
Britex3186 Only 3800km in 64 years :) But still the engine has been renovated not long ago.
That is a great little bike. Jennifer is a great name. I don't think the pillion seat would be to comfortable. :) RSM8

Thillonoz Yep many rode Puch, there were a lot of brands back then like DBS, Mustang, Zundapp, Rex and Fram (both swedish). Cheers!

***** When i was 16 i already started working, so i had to pay for it myself this time :)
Thats an old school bike right there!!
navythomas8 I´m pretty old school myself so it´s the perfect ride :)
I love that bike!!! Ride safe!
vac0002 Cheers bud! It´s a beast...no it´s not lol
It's a 175cc? Time to add it to your intro. Looks like a great find. Makes me want to go check the classified ads. Enjoy riding JLo.
gloverintl Yep 175cc and a whopping 9BHP :) I now have bikes that range from 9 to 143BHP lol Thanks bro!

Jennifer seems more appropriate considering her age.
Ian Asbiorn Jennifer it is, but she´s not that old is she?

Jag har inte kvar den så kan inte mäta men jag är 180 och satt helt ok på den. Det är bara att prova innan du köper.
LOL can see you now burying that scooter :)
GTs Garage It did take some time, i don't remember how long, probably the whole night, but i wanted to make sure that bloody thing never came back lol
@Emil Qvarnström Absolut, Husqvarna är min favorit när det gäller svenska hojar.
@Emil Qvarnström Skulle nog tro det :)
You're not a real biker until you've been persecuted by the police. ;o)
Hard to believe that thing is still running so well after so long.
Rob Ash I fought the law and the law won lol
