Bought one of these new in 1969/70. Here in Britain, at that time, if supplied in major component parts purchase tax could be avoided. I was seduced with the beautiful motor sitting out of it's frame in the window of Comerfords, Thames Ditton. Trouble was it wasn't much good for long distance road work with such a small tank and a bit of a thirst but still very enjoyable.

My sisters had one of these in the 80's. The "Posi-force lubing" system created a near-constant smoke screen.
There's also the big-bore Beamish Suzuki to be had. More power and torque. D.

It's not much of a touring bike! But what did we know?... off we went!
