from the article:
Only a handful of these motorcycles have been made in various configurations.
The 350 Jap OHV Sports engine was quite powerful for a motorcycle of the time.
Starting the engine is by kick starter which can be operated while sitting on the saddle.
The hand change “Soyer” gearbox is a 3-speed with hand operated clutch.

It'll bring a whole new meaning to the phrase:
"Attention; WalMart Shoppers!" :shocked:

First thing I thought of was how easy was it to turn and how jarring the ride would be. It is way cool though.
