Not At All Common

An early 1960s Fuji Rabbit Touring 150 ("touring"... heh, right!).

First one I have ever seen.

Ross tries to get an artsy angle with his superior iPhone camera.

What tickled Ross was that the shifter was the reverse of the Vespa shifter -- 1st is one forward; neutral, 2nd, 3rd, 4th back.

What tickled me was that Ross had never seen a vehicle that had the hi-beam/low-beam switch on the left floorboard, as the Rabbit has.  :)
