Solid, reliable bike. Easy maintenance (Shaft drive!), straight-forward operation. Plenty of power for a bike of that era (50 HP) Seat is not comfortable for all day riding - modification by Russell Saddle in Fall River Mills, Ca makes a big difference. Starting: you may not need full choke. Rear luggage rack still available from Ventura (http://www.ventura-bike.com). In good shape, it draws many positive comments.
Historical Note: first Japanese V-twin in American shores. Woke Harley up, proving to them that Japanese V twins could sell here. Helped motivate them to improve their own product.
