I've got a 70 Ambo that's not a transition model. It's fitted with left
alloy brake pedal and right shift. I believe that you could buy a bike this
way back then if you wanted too.

Probably was a combination of USDOT regulations and customer request. I
believe all of the V700s and "A" series Ambos had left foot brake stock.

| Bob, Left foot on the brake? Is your bike setup with left brake and right shift.
