i'm sure some folks here won't even know what a Honda Turuna is, but a 41y.o. Turuna still serving as the daily ride for someone is interesting to say the least, even though it had the OHC engine replaced by a pushrod engine from a CG. Most likely the replacement engine was sourced from a scrapyard, and the older OHC was not so common back in the day...

How does the chain around the seat deter theft? Couple big guys could just carry that off.

It makes the bike next to it with no chain at all a more appealing target.
No chain is going to stop a determined thief even if the bike is chained to an immovable object. Even the best chains can be cut through with a battery powered grinder in a minute or less. |

It provides the passenger watching the bike something to hold onto when departing quickly while the robber is inside the lottery outlet. |

A really strong guy could carry it alone 
Those ancient small motorcycles were quite featherweight. |

I used to think hard tails were cool, but nowadays I'd rather avoid it.
