Its frame was bent tube of large diameter thin but very rigid and weighed only seven kilograms. The engineer Paul Joshua made handling the first feature of its motorcycles. He was very attentive to quality. He himself had participated in the very first 75 manual production of motorcycles. He had gained control of all the details, including the AMC engine test bench and finally to the final test of each bike.
