It’s pretty much a pair of MZ250s (and not at all bad for that).
I very nearly had one instead of the Kawasaki Z400. I know - what was I thinking.
The handling is a bit strange but a pair of Hagon shocks make a huge difference and specced right will look the part. Just store the OEM shocks.
 
Had one, lavender colour, loved it! Cracked both cylinder heads on the M1 from Lisburn to Belfast, a known feature. Replacements came from Brian Bardsley, then the fun started. Some of the bolts holding the heads on brought the threads out with them.....
