Never a problem with this motorcycle. I got my 650 back in may of 1978. Purchased new from Zanotti Motor Co. in Butler Pennsylvania. | ||||||
| This motorcycle was my first street bike and I thought it a very reliable trouble free bike. I rode it 21 miles one way to work every day and got caught in the rain many times the bike performed flawlessly even through severe storms. The handling seemed good to me as I had never ridden anything else on the street. The only thing I could complain about is the seat. I wonder why these motorcycle makers don´t put a comfortable seat on a bike. I would probably still have this bike if I hadn´t let my friend ride it. He wrecked it and that was the end of it. |
