i gave $199 for it on ebay from boy go fast with free shiping. quality is good but there are no instructions with the kits. it's not whisper quiet but is much quieter than a china girl. it does 18 mph on flat ground, probably will do 20 once i get some miles on it. i have a 69 solex and this runs just like it.

Why do the tops look so much like overhead valve covers? They are 2 stroke, right? Good looking build
