I have a mint condition 84 big red 200cc engine. didn't have a hand clutch, but you shifted the gears by foot petal. It has a hi/lo switch on the left side. And yes i did run it up my leg one time, that's when you learn to not put your foot down. Had two shocks on the front, rear suspension was just the tires. I keep it in some ways because the gooberment didn't want me to have it. in sand it works real well. in mud and on roads with a lot of ruts, it gets entertaining.
