No no, Ja Moo, I have never taken a motorcycle thinking of an investment, but thinking only of the pure pleasure of having it and using it. Having already a 1970 Samurai, the idea would be to make an Avenger, the differences are the engine and the exhausts. the problem would be to find the exhausts, which are different between samurai and Avenger, both very rare to find, and those of the Avenger seem even rarer. for the engine, most of the Avengers have the engine with "Injectolube" lubrication but I have been told that the first models had the engine like that of the Samurai, only increased to 350. If that's true, I should look for cylinders, heads and pistons from 350, but I would have to change the number of the engine code. find a 350 engine, maybe "Injectolobe" in Europe, I think it's impossible. But in the end I would settle for another Samurai too, with a different aesthetic.
