I had the H1-a, they were fitted with the 'weird coil pick up' electronic ignition in Europe. Fuel cooled was about right, and if you did ride it with a modicum of fuel conservation in mind, the bastard frequently punished you by fouling the middle plug.... so either way round you were forking out!!
But, yeh, twist that throttle, launch from the lights, and wait for anything/something.. to find a path out of the vast blue haze left behind you...
