Boardmonger,
I used to have a blue Yamaha Chappy, (like the red one in your picture). Top speed wasn't the greatest (maybe 20 or 23mph?), but it sure could pull! I think I got mine in '79, used it for a paper route for a while (the long seat held the bag pretty well).
If I were to get one now, it would have to have a higher top speed - maybe 35ish.
