I love this little bike.
I don't ride it during the winter. No wind protection and I dont trust it's 40 year old electrical system to power my electric winter clothes.

Here's a nice little article I just dug up on a nearly identical bike. It kind of sums up why this is my favorite bike in the stable.
Those who know me here know that means a lot as there have been more than a few bikes through the stable. :P http://www.cycleworld.com/2010/11/18...ecial-feature/ NOTE the article refers to the 200 as being faster than the 175 but this was not the case. The 175 had higher compression, more aggressive cams, and I think bigger carbs and was the better performer of the two. Still they are both slow. It's like saying a Prius is faster than a Sears riding lawnmower... :roll:

Indeed, that's a beautiful little motorcycle, and you have restored it superbly.
