The transmission is a 2 speed automatic, low and drive. From what I have read low was good to around 60 and drive up to 100. I would like to ride one to see how the transmission feels. The engine was only rated at 50hp so it was most likely pretty doggy. They sold them here in 1976, 1977, and 1978.


It sounds a lot like a Moto Guzzi Convert. They were maybe 65 hp, but also probably heavier. I rode one and it was fine, but not particularly inspiring, and the fuel economy suffered from the torque converter.
