Rings back memories I had the same bike same color same year in 1980 ! What a wonderful motorcycle

Is the motorcycle in gear or the speedodrive is mounted to the rearwheel?

[@mauriziogiacometti8572]

Nice question !!!!! V1000 I-Convert is always in gear. Is not possible push back with feet when engine running beacase the trans is alway on; is necessary pull the clutch and give a couple of throttle to disengage. Speedometer indicates velocity because the motorbike is sitting on centre stand so rear wheel is running. At 2:20 is visible the speedometer cable upper the gear box near the brake pedal. Nice model in video, still have the original electromagnetic fuel cock on the right of fuel tank !!!!

There’s no neutral

Lovely bike. BTW - I don't think it's good for the Universal joint to run the rear wheel like that when the bike's on the centre stand. Should have some load on the rear wheel, maybe run it on rollers. Just a suggestion.
