How it rides

- It exists for utilitarian, go-anywhere transport and leisurely sidecar touring rather than for speed or sport riding.
- Built for
- It has the character of a rugged, mechanically simple old-world workhorse, charming in its crude directness but utterly unconcerned with comfort or refinement.
- Not ideal for
- It is not for riders seeking quick acceleration, nimble handling, or a relaxed, modern riding experience.
