⚠️ Things to consider

• Limited power output compared to modern motorcycles, resulting in slower acceleration and top speed.
• Outdated suspension system and brakes, leading to a less comfortable and potentially less safe riding experience.

• Difficulty in finding replacement parts due to the age and rarity of the motorcycle, potentially leading to higher maintenance costs.
• Limited availability of mechanic expertise familiar with vintage motorcycles, which can make servicing and repairs more challenging.
