Well Dave

That "gutless" little 160 was the first bike for a new rider at age 16. She learned a lot about riding on that little bike and often took long trips on it.
The little 160 would run at near 80 mph which was entirely adequate for road travel. Nice thing was, unlike the typical "American" bikes of the day, it did stay in one piece for mile upon mile and did not scatter its guts on the road
Ever wonder how long that 175 Harley lasted? The Sprint wasn't at all a bad bike. Made by Aermacchi the Italian aircraft maker.

The 1983 GL650 Silverwing she rides now has proven to be a very "Gutsy" ride that will flat outrun many Harleys twice its size and it too has remained a very solid mount.

I'll take guts in the saddle over a bike that scatters its guts on the road any day.
