It had a 58 bhp (43 kW), 740-cubic-centimetre (45 cu in) air-cooled OHV unit construction straight-three engine, with four gears and a conventional chassis and suspension.[2] The engine had less vibration than the existing 360° twins.2024-07-11 12:45:54Bloomington, Indiana, United States15,3008,900.00 -
