Looking good. Never ridden one but have had an attraction for sometime. I also watch Stuart Fillingham on YouTube and quite enjoy some, not all, of his opinions and observations

Riding one think 1950's performance, but disc brake is an improvement over the drum. Japanese fuel injection is by Kehein. Don't go in café you get any number of old men wanting to talk about it. Spain and back 3000miles in 13 days, no issues. Be prepared for lots of hands on maintaining. Smiles per mile is high as long as
you are not in a hurry. I got whole bucket of nuts bolts and parts I didn't like, which I remade in stainless. I did change both primary and drive chains for German and Jap DID items before going. Mine is pre euro 4 so no abs and traditional cast iron drum rear same as it had been for 60 years. Euro 4 has disc both ends.

I'll second that one! Rode one for 2 days in India, a really relaxing experience! And it runs on old fumes left in tank....

Just read the two previous posts. Appoliges for not responding. It is so appealing to enjoy the relaxed approach. Interesting that you managed your Spanish trip so well. I smile as I think about my ex boss who spent most of his Portuguese holiday stranded by his modern rocket 3 only to discover it was all down to a cheap relay!!!
