This is a all original stock example of a 1978 Concord XKE.

Carburetor is a Dellorto Sha 14.12
Gas Ratio
Very sturdy frame.
Personal opinions and thoughts : This bike handles and accelerates extremely smooth. The V1 motor may be one of the smoothest motors I have had. The torque on the Concord is excellent! Large hills are no problem at all for it. Very minimum vibrations make for a very comfortable ride as well. The Sha Carburetor was very easy to work on and there were parts readily available for when it came to rebuilding it. The exhaust is a very nice quiet sound but however still noticeable from a couple hundred feet. As far as things I wasn’t a huge fan, I would say that the rotation of the pedals when the motor is not engaged is far too fast, making it impossible to pedal assist. However there isn’t much need for pedal assist with the amount of torque the motor produces. If you run out of gas though there isn’t much point to try and ride this like a bicycles. Overall I would say this bike is very comfortable to ride, easy to start, and extremely reliable.
