Good Little classic bike, It would be nice to see on the starting, instead of jap bike all the time.

As I have owned one of these little gems I can say they do have few short comings. Power and lack of it, it's possible that a eslinore could lap this bike by just being started.
Current bikes. KTM MC 250 77 Husky CR 360 77, Husky 82 420 Auto Bitsa XR 200 project. Dont need a pickle just need to ride my motorcickle

I understand what you are saying, the jap bikes are quick and more nibble, but I look at it differently, when you go to race meetings it nice to see different makes of bikes being used.
