My buddy bought one brand new about 5 years ago. His parents let him get it because it was street legal and all. This was a brand new bike but nothing has changed on them since the 70's. They just change the graphics and colors. Like others said, they only start to go decently fast once the motor gets up and humming. This is a 2 stroke 100, so it's not going to have much torque down low (think CR80). All in all an ok bike, but nothing spectacular off-road. The only thing I really liked about it was the fact that it was ready to ride on the street minus registered plates. Those bikes had some weird technology back then, the choke comes out of the left sidecase, I was like WTF?? I think the top speed was somewhere in the 50's.

NacsMxer described it perfect. I know that little engine is bulletproof. I rode the hell out of mine and never had any trouble with the engine.

Mine was a 95 and like Nacsmxer said, they didnt change much throughout the years. You should be able to find parts for it pretty easily.
