an old guy years ago down our road had something similar, you`d see him come pedling out of his entry then bump , it`d start and he`d go chugging off.

and be funny to see you in your full biker gear on that..

I'd deffinately ride it, get an open face helmet and some mirror aviators

Love the early R1, had a couple of the first model in blue. I still want a mint pearl white and red one at some point, classic bike.
