A 2017 Supreme x Coleman Minibike Heads to Auction as Unopened New Old Stock

Few brand tie-ups in the powersports world have aged as strangely well as the Supreme x Coleman minibike. Built for Supreme’s Spring/Summer 2017 season and announced on the brand’s Instagram account just two days before it went live online, the collaboration took an already humble trail machine and turned it into one of the decade’s more unlikely collectibles. Now an example that has reportedly never been unboxed, let alone started, is set to cross the block with Bonhams on October 11, carrying an estimate of €6,500 to €7,500, or roughly $7,400 to$8,550.

Mechanically, nothing about the bike is luxurious, and that is precisely the point. The CT200U is an old-school pull-start minibike powered by an air-cooled, overhead-valve single with a 68 mm bore, 54 mm stroke and 8.5:1 compression. Coleman rates it at 5.1 bhp at 3,600 rpm and 8.1 lb ft of torque at 2,500 rpm, though retail listings have long advertised a more generous 6.5 bhp figure. A centrifugal clutch and chain drive with a 10:1 ratio mean there is no shifter and no clutch lever to worry about, while braking comes from a single rear drum operated by a lever on the left bar. The factory tires are AT19x7-8 units inflated to a soft 10 psi, fuel capacity is 0.95 gallons, and the claimed top speed is just 20 mph. Curb weight sits at 121 lbs.

The CT200U’s layout is a direct nod to the American minibike boom of the 1960s, when rigid frames and repurposed lawnmower engines ruled backyards and empty lots. Small builders such as Taco, founded by off-road racer John Steen, defined that era, before more polished factory machines like Honda’s Z50 and Kawasaki’s Coyote arrived and squeezed outfits including Rupp, Bonanza, Lil Indian and Arctic Cat out of the picture. Even the owner’s manual keeps the throwback spirit alive, listing suspension as “low pressure tires.”

Supreme dressed its version in the label’s box-logo red with black accents, white Supreme branding across the fenders and seat, and a “Ride or Die” graphic on the chain guard. Where a standard CT200U retailed for $699.99, the Supreme edition carried a$998 price tag and vanished almost instantly, leaving would-be buyers to the secondary market, where values quickly climbed into the mid four figures and have continued upward since. Collectors prize unused examples above all, since an untouched bike sidesteps any question about how hard a previous owner rode it.

That is what makes this particular machine stand out. It is described as new old stock, reportedly still factory-fresh and never fired up since leaving its original carton. For a limited run that sold out in a flash and was never replenished, an unopened box is about as close as anyone will get to rewinding the clock.
