Personally, I would pass on that model having had one years ago. I didn't like the jacking effect of the shaft drive. Plus, first gear completely crapped out and I had to start in second.NO PIC THANKS TO FOTO BUCKET FOR BEING RIDICULOUS

I enjoyed mine a bunch. In some ways, it was the most fun bike I have owned: It cost next to nothing, had it painted by a family friend for a couple hundred, had the seat recovered, cleaned the carbs and hung a Jardine exhaust off it, put new tires on it, changed the oil and then just rode the snot out of it. That bike was a roll-on monster."Thought he, it is a wicked world in all meridians; I'll die a pagan."
