They are great little bikes. I learned to ride on a Green SL125. What really drew me into the machine on the first ride as I was shown, was when you shift up to neutral from first gear a green light bulb would luminate on the speedometer indicating that you could release the clutch lever while the motor was running and the bike would remain stationary because you were out of gear. This technology was highly advanced to me as a kid because my ride at the time was a Rupp minibike roller that I had literally picked out of the trash and bolted up a 4 horse Tecumseh engine with centrifugal clutch to it. It had no brakes and I activated the throttle with kite string. Greatest piece of equipment I ever owned because it was the start. The dawn of an era that has not yet ended.

^^^ My first full sized bike. My parents bought two when my brother and I were young teenagers. He still has them both!
