I live in Cuba an as a result of the soviet era there are lost of voskhods still running in Cuba.And as far as I can see they will keep on running because there is no market for new bikes.I have had mine for the last 13 years and it has never left me in the side of the road.I have a few tips to make them run better,like improving efficiency,more hp and other.For those who are interested contact me at barroso.adrian75@yahoo.com.
