Was built out of strong materials. Can and does out last many newer models. The top has faded to silver, The face and grill is still a classic and nice to look at. It is the, "Dominant" type. Took on that modification in, 1971. Has not run well on vanilla fuel, ever since. It is comfortable and this ride is as fast as any, or casual, too. VERY experienced and can train a new passenger, as well as, enjoy one with more experience.
