Comments:
The suspension mods have transformed the handling. My Brother has an identical 3CV with original suspension which feels like a settee on wheels compared to mine! Update on 17.9.2005. Bike has been dry stored for the last 2 years and is about to come out of retirement. Hope it still works!

Comments:
I love the bike,have had some great 2up trips with the wife,she would like some extra padding on the gear rack,I love it when you come up to traffic so you can open the throttle and feel the grunt.Luckily I live in the country and have a few isolated backroads I can play on when the need arises.
