However, this did not prevent him from being a double - with a dry weight of one hundred kilograms, the payload was calculated at 150 kilograms. In addition, it was produced in two modifications, with the second being called "Sport" and intended for country roads. And in terms of accessibility, no other Soviet motorcycle could overtake it.
