Yes there was.
Cons:
1.) No heat in the cold.
2.) Valves a pain in the @ss to adjust.
3.) No structural protection for frontal impacts.
4.) Fuel tank perfectly positioned for a fiery demise in a front-end collision.
5.) Oil “strainer” instead of oil filter.
6.) Not exactly a “chick magnet” (unless you were around a rock concert in the 1960’s).

Pros:
1.) Reasonable gas mileage.
2.) Floats (for a while at least).
3.) EXCELLENT traction
4.) High Fun Factor.
5.) Ran forever if properly maintained (aside from those valve adjustment challenges).
5.) Easy to pickup and carry while intoxicated at college parties.

You forgot the biggest “con”...40, yes 40 horsepower. A decent lawnmower would out accelerate a bug.
