Fun 'nostalgia' bike. A bit low powered but it's the no power to full power transition that makes it fun.
Lifts the front wheel too easily, ready or not.
Brakes are truly marginal, the handling is iffy, due to it's tiny tires, not so rigid frame, too soft, bendy and vague suspension. The build quality is poor, which shouldn't be a surprise, as these were quite inexpensive motorcycles to buy new.
The bores/pistons have a surprisingly short life, even shorter if one hammers the thing.
All said though, it is a fun toy for entertainment riding.
