A Note from the Owner

Mark -

This bike has 3,220 miles, is un-restored, and is original right down to the Dunlop Gold Seal tires (no cracks in them!). The usual fuel and brake system rebuilds had to be done due to age, as well as much detailing and maintenance.

Two nos oem mirrors were sourced from Thailand. Bike shows some "patina" up close, but all chrome and paint is in surprisingly good shape. Needless to say these little rockets were fast and cheap when new, and most all were thrashed to death or poorly modified.

This one escaped that fate due to a now passed away 77 year-old previous owner whom I knew. I hope you're up there smiling at your little sweetheart now, Frank!
