It's basically a 1953 500cc single motorcycle with an electric starter, a slightly modernized antique. I don't think of it as a POS. It's almost a museum piece. I suppose it would be fun to ride in certain situations, but it doesn't take the place of a competent modern motorcycle, nor should it be expected to.

Dont forget fuel injection considering the minimal power that the bike produces, i doubt it needs many upgrades. It's literally making 1950's horsepower, and as such, 1950's suspension, stopping power, etc should be up to the task. It should also last longer, considering modern manufacturing processes.
