I had one of those when they first came out, from what I remenber it was not an easy bike to ride.

The power delivery was more motocross style and the width of the motor made getting through tight gaps difficult.

The sump plate was convex shaped which means you cant rest on rocks and it also had a nasty habit of snapping handle bar clamp bolts for no apparent reason.

It was not my favorite bike to say the least :D
