No wonder he was able to rack up so many miles....probably been retired about 25 years ago

I just don’t understand why the other makers cannot make an engine like that. You’d think they would enjoy the reputation that goes with it.
I've been around the world twice but I fail to see how one can go (across the globe."

I had a girlfriend in college who had one. It was cute,but I'm 6'4", and couldn't drive it for more than 15 minutes without cramping up. It also jokingly had a rear "seat" that was perfect for a chihuahua.
