The description says talk about any motorcycle, so I shall. One specifically.
Does anyone remember these beasties? My aunt gave me hers in all original, complete but non-running condition for me to tinker on in the early 80's. It had electronic ignition and it was thought that the module was fried. Being in my late teens, I basically knew nothing about repairing the electrics, although I did get ONE bark out the exhaust...probably unintentionally shorted a few wires together. I managed to hang onto it until the late 80's when the newly-ex-mother-in-law tossed it out of her shed to the curb when I wasn't looking, along with my '74 Kawi KS125. I never saw either again.
Recently I found a video of the exact evil twin of this A1, right down to the same pearl paint and stripes. It's like the mechanical girlfriend I almost married and lost. (I know that sounds bad, but hey....)
Has anyone else owned or ridden one of these? I'd love to hear of your experience, and will always wonder if they really are as fast as I've been told.
