Weird... Mine is now 37 years old (and 29 of those in my posession). The only time it left me standing mid-trip, was when the tank ran empty (darn fuel level gauge never worked right)... Other than that, for some reason, and it is NOT "decent maintenance" because I usually barely touch it, only bare minimum, everything basically keeps working, even the electrics, with the minimum of care and the occasional wiggle of a connector, but even that is rare... The other day the ignition switch (the lock&key one, not the safety killswitch) acted up, and everybody told me "uh oh... that's non-repairable, better start looking for a new one, they're hard to find", but a bit of compressed air and WD40 and it works like new and has been for the last 8 months and a winter over. Even running it on E10 (with an Ethanol-buster additive). Still love it like the day I first laid eyes on it.

All you needed to do was change the factory carb (made for a car) to a decent bike carb. Runs like a watch, goes quicker, uses less fuel. Who says there's no God?

@@mark-anthonyconti684 Wasn't just the Weber, those 16" wheels also plus if felt like riding a dolphin... I guess I was young enough back then to be more comfortable in a Sportier riding position....

@@DustyVisorMotorcycles yeah, agreed, those 16" wheels were awful. Mind you you could tip it into a tight corner so quickly . ..

I just bought a 906 and I trully cannot understand how come they aren't more appreciated. It's a blast to drive at all times, grunty, powerful and beautiful
