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.
