prefer the later with oïl pump (blue tank and oïl tank around the carburator) interesting but do around 90 MPH lay on the bike the nose between tacho speedo to say nothing about acceleration which was poor.
Sold as a 300cc in my country at the price of a 750cc ;)
perform like a 250cc 4 stroke :roll:

I saw one two years in a row at the Modern Classics show at martin Motosports in Boyertown,Pa. The owner of an identical one said it "went like hell".

First year it rode it to the show and parked it outside

That was Franks'. Beautiful bike but he has since sold it. Maybe the new owner will bring it one day.
