[anzhonda600owners] Re: Original 1972 coupe Zinc plated parts
Brad, I only drove my coupe around a small parking lot to make sure it was OK. So no I really have never driven one.
Saying it's the most fun to drive, is alot coming from a classic car guy. Now I am really looking forward to driving it!
OK power wont be anything, but I know it will handle great. Plus just keeping up with traffic will be an adventure and fun.
Thanks I feel better about buying one.
