Sticker is prominently placed on the lower front leg shield.
....while running it in for the first 900 miles, "DO NOT CLIMB HILLS ON FULL THROTTLE"

best turn your ride-it-like-you-stole-it T-shirt inside out for the duration...

@Kk, as far I might remember, didn't have those old models 3-gear handshift? And this meant not to excede this speed during....
Had a Garelli once and was like that.

Yep. Max recommended speeds in each gear.
This was a "shifty"!

I had a HD Leggero that was made in Italy that had the 3 speed hand shift,  I believe it was a 1965. I think my Kymco starter motor had more power then the Leggero.  I sold it for $35. many years ago,  make that many decades ago.
