ISO information on this bike
I have a bike that i cannot find information on it. It has a plaque on it that says Bunny and under that it says made in Japan, but I have not been able to find any information online about it. It is black with a thin red pin stripe. It has two top tubes. The kick stand looks like it is attached to the rear dropout and not near the pedal so it kicks down backward from typical bikes. The handlebars are like backward bullhorn handlebars. They are completely flat but the ends curve backward with a slight upward curve. There are handlebar brakes. They look like a thin metal tubing that follows the handlebars.
I would like to know anything and everything about the bike, especially when the bike was typically made if not specifically, where it was sold, and how much it is worth. I have pictures of the bike if there is a way to post them. Thanks!

Clear photos. Of the "drive side" of the bike--the side with the chain. Clear photos of any components and frame details. Especially unusual components. Photos of any decals or stampings. That will be a start.
Never heard of Bunny bikes, but there's a first time for everything.

In America, the dual top tubes are referred to as Motorbike style frame, as they mimic the early motorcycle frames. In Japan this frame style was so common that it was standardized by the Japanese Bicycle Industry Association. The crankset, gear case and handlebars are also standard models. The frame style and components, including the stirrup brakes and rear axle stand continued to be offered by the Japanese into at least the late 1960s. Consequently, you can find near identical bicycles under dozens of brands, from numerous manufacturers and covering a large time span. The serial number may provided us with a clue to the manufacturer.
