IIRC 18hp makes it a 320cc although a '70 would be a 335. They also sold it
with a 399cc that made IIRC 39hp or so which must have been insanely fast.
Mine is the base model, no flip up headlight. My grandfather had a '69 320 with
the flip up headlight that I continue to hold out hope I can find.
My '70 sits behind the garage, it needs the area under the seat replaced, a
little of the hood glass repaired, a new windshield gasket and the engine
rebuilt again probably with an overbore this time. Its possible the rings are
stuck which would explain 85psi compression but I'm not holding out too much
hope on that. It runs but is awful hard to start.

We had one like that. My father bought it new in about 1970 for $700.
It was a good machine. I wish we still had it but my mother sold it
after dad died in 1983.
I also had one that looked like that with the 18HP motor and the
hide-away headlight. It was a bit of a junker that I bought used.
