that a shame as i had thought about a Cub, not that i can ride a motor bike but with them having gears i could ride one on a CBT.

 

afterall, 90 odd million have been built, they must be on yo something....

I didn't know there had been a twin cylinder Cub! Want!,

 

As for 'Guzzis, the large engined ones that are derived from the original 1960's engine have a good reputation but those based on the 500cc 1980s bike engine have a bad reputation.

And every faux chopper ever made by any factory will get it's rider an embarrassing reputation.

 When I did my RAC scheme in the stone age, one of my fellow students, an older woman, had one of those (I had a Honda SS50).  We were practising hill starts - get the clutch to biting point, off the brake and go.  Her C50 had a centrifugal clutch (maybe they all did) which ironically she seemed to find harder to use than an ordinary one,  Trying to do the hill start she twisted the throttle until the engine was screaming - realised she was in neutral, so stamped on the gear lever.  The bike went straight into gear and did a such a huge wheelie she went off the back and it landed on top of her.  Thankfully no lasting damage to her or the bike but terrifying and hilarious in equal measure.

Only thing I know about those Guzzis is I've wanted one since I first saw one - and IIRC they were the first to link the front and rear brakes - one front and one rear disc were on the footbrake and the other disc on the lever - loads of manufacturers do this now (my cousin was showing me the system on his Honda Blackbird).  As for faux chopper - if memory serves from my 1973 Observers book of motorbikes, these aren't like the Japanese Harley clones as they've been making 'em like that a long time.
