That is a nice looking machine!
I'm sure you dont find many that old in such good condition.
Nice find, mind if I ask how much you paid for it? Yeah I'd been looking for a while and saw a lot of rusted out ones but for 250 bucks how could I pass that up.

marubadu, Thanks for posting, nice machine. Some new things on it I've never seen before. 1. Gas tank top barrier. ?? Can't figure out what that's for. 2. Different top dash type I've nevery seen. 3. Low shift lever. Another thing I've never seen. 4. Clean warning tag on the electric start and looks like no rust on the screws. |
