There's one in my garage right now, albeit without the high pipe, patiently awaiting it's turn for some of my limited attention. I rode it very little after I bought it and remember it as having significant engine vibration, although it's possible a previous owner may have mistimed the balance shaft inside the crankcase. I should really go find out...
Thanks for the comment! I have recalled that I did own an orange 1969 model briefly in the pre-internet days. It was a junk bike, rusty with a seized engine and a badly welded cracked frame, just behind the steering head. It was disposed of real quick- but like so many things, I regret it now...
Motobi in all but name, with an interesting racing history:
