  • Ready to ride. Needs no repair for you to hop on and ride. You might want to adjust some things however.
  • Brakes clutch throttle and shifter all work great.
  • Tires in good shape; no leaks.
  • Chain has plenty of life left in it from my assessment.
  • Fairings clean. Kept covered w/ battery tender.
  • Battery 3 months old. Turns engine over with ease.
  • Until today I had not started the bike in 2 weeks butit starts right up as you can see in this video.
The Bad -Everything about the bike is how I got it so it's the best I can do.
  • Scratch and crack on tank paint. Tank appears to be undented. See pictures for detail.
  • Throttle grip is a little sticky. To the touch. The throttle itself is not sticky. Smooth and responsive.
  • Windshield is cracked and is missing a screw. I never saw it happen so I must've bought it that way.
  • Fairing stay/frame (by the handlebars) was broken so I had it welded back together. Solid as a rock now.
  • Plastic clean and in excellent condition. Some scratches.
  • Tank key and ignition key are different. I have trouble telling which is which and I never got around to trying anything clever like painting one of them a different color.
Please ask questions! I'm in southwest Nashville TN (Bellevue).
