Description

 I bought this beauty 3 years ago.   It came from Florida 28 years ago and few miles were ridden before it went into indoor storage for the past 24 years.   I begged the deceased owner's wife to sell it to me.   It had full tank of ethanol free gas.   Just for giggles. I kicked it 10 times and it fired right up.   Well. since that day I have had the Bing carbs rebuilt. both brakes serviced. new magneto. all new cables. battery. and tires.   It is ridden weekly for the past 3 summers.   I put about 1500 miles on her. The speedometer reads 3400. but I am assuming it has 34. 00 miles on her based normal wear and tear on bike.   Paint is in decent shape.   The bottom of exhaust has a small leak but sounds fine.   I cannot certify the actual mileage but the engine runs will all 600cc worth of power and compression.   It is a fun torquing vintage ride every time I get on her.   She starts on 3rd kick on cold mornings.   Reverse earl shocks are soft but functional.   I have stored her inside my barn with tank and carbs cleaned out very winter.   Due to house construction. I have to let her go.   Good luck and email me with questions.   I will do my best to answer.

I checked the Speedometer and it actually reads 3685.  That's the 1500 miles I put on in past 3 years.
