Quite different from first advice, as it´s a very nice bike : light and pleasant to ride, very lively, particularly on curved roads and in mountains, as it handles nicely.But...engine is fragile , very different from my old 65´B 40 which never had any problem of that sort in about 40000 miles (big end, piston, another big end, valves, including a head...)and not an easy starter until you understand how to do (needs a few years...)
