There's only so many hours in a day and the roads were twisty needing good brakes & handling.
Not really the J model hippos raison d'etre.
Of course, my 550 kept up fine as it's first outing since about 1975!

Did you notice the two stroke riders " clutch hand "

Nearly everyone has their hand over the clutch lever, just in case ??

Yet, in over 40+ years riding them, never had one seize up on me. 8-) :D

Also, note the male pedestrian @ 1.30 secs, head swivel 8-)

I commented on the collective clutch hands back then as it quite amused me that some claimed not to do it!
