Re: What have you owned, or what do you own?
It probably weighs 200lbs too. Like I said, I'd lower it, install clip-ons with a bar-end mirror and get rid of the fenders in a heartbeat.

Forgot- also had a Lambretta motorscooter in 1967-68. (wish I still had it now, probably be worth 100 times the $20 I bought it for back then).

I know this is an old thread, but remembered you had owned a Drifter 800. I am looking at a 2002 in great condition with many upgrades for $3100. What are your thoughts on this model? Any info appreciated.

The worst thing about it was the headlamp. It was connected to the magneto, so if you slowed down because of bad road conditions, the light was only a glimmer, & it made things worse. The best thing was the great big, comfortable, "tractor" saddles.

My 2003 GZ250
and (Finally) sold the 50cc Chinese scooter yesterday...That $450 will go a long way toward paying for the few things the GZ needs

Re: What have you owned, or what do you own?
Just found a coupla photos. The quality's crap, but - hey - we're talking +/- half a century here!
This is my mum & dad. The photo must have been taken somewhere between 1946 & 1950.  And this is me with my Lambretta in 1965. Oh to be 18 again!
