Leave it to Markus to have those brochures ready to go! LOL, that bike is so cool. From the 820 to the baked on ENAMEL, big disc brake, it's nice to see what the MFGR's were doing with mini bikes "besides" shoving children's toys out the door. Nearly 3 times the money they were asking for entry level bikes.

I like all of that high end vintage stuff. This is a bike that could still be sold today.

I think I messed up saying that was a huge disc brake. That is probably the torque converter tansmission the brochure speaks to, selectable from 3.5:1 to 1:5 overdrive. (what?) I only see one brake, a drum on the rear axle. Also, the only design flaw, endemic to the times, is that compression spring telescopic front end. That and a six inch two ply tire equal squirrely going fifty.

I'll let the more knowledgeable folks take over. :)
