I had one of these bikes new off the showroom floor as a kid. The had two minor flaws, the chain guard(common to all that had that chain guard) and the fiberboard rotary valve that seemed to go out about every thousand miles. Performance wise on the street, it would take anything below a 175cc through the quarter-mile. On short runs, block to block, it would even take some weaker 175´s. That 38 tooth sprocket OEM on back didn´t give it much low end, but when it tacked up in first and second gear it really took off. I would give it a 90 or better for performance.
