I purchased this bike from the crate in Miami in 1977 and rode it up the East Coast to Maine and into Canada to Nova Scotia. From there to prince Edward Island and down the St. Lawrence River to Niagra and crossed back into the U.S. From there I rode it accross the U.S. to Harrah, Washington my home. The bike was fantastic! This was in comparsion to the Honda CB 450 that I rode from Harrah to Seattle to San Diego across to Texas and up to Indiana and over to Virginia with a short 1500 mile circle in that part of the country prior to ending up in Miami. In total a 15,000 mile trip. If you would like more info on this trip send me an email.
