Paul,
Thats a big negative on the paint, typical (but cool) paint. I have a 71
Ambo. Couldn't be happier with it, moves along happily at 75mph on a
nice day, it will very depending on the temp. but generally 65-75mph.
This looks like a nice one regardless of wether or not it's police. I
think it would be worth a look. The seller might be confused as to what
a police model is acually equiped with, on not necessarily trying to
pull something over..
Good luck
Kev

Thomas, Kevin and Craig, thanks very much for your responses and advice. Sounds like this bike may be civilian with a few police bits (the owner told me the bike was a police model and that the bracket at the back behind the seat was originally for the radio). I figured it should have floor boards and that the seat was wrong for a cop bike, but then again if someone wanted a bike for everyday use i suppose they would be the things to change. It might be worth a look anyhow. What about the colour scheme - does that give anything away? The price is in A$, which means you can just about halve it for US$. I have to admit I'm tempted to buy one in the US and ship it out here - there just aren't enough around locally to be able to be picky it seems. A couple of questions - Is it the case that the Ambassador is less practical to use than the El Dorado (called the 850 GT in Australia and also Europe I believe). I'm thinking the Ambassador has one less gear and is a 750 as opposed to an 850, but does that make real difference touring? What is a comfortable touring speed on them?
