This one sports a 450cc air cooled 1980's Honda-matic mortorcycle engine. It is a two speed automatic with no clutch. Shifter is on the right side. The front windshield, headlight shields and canopy are all made of clear Plexiglass.

The 450cc Honda engine starts great and runs well. There are flaps that open on the side and they are meant to be air brakes and assist in braking with the standard brakes.
