I accutally picked this up over the July 4th holiday at a garage sale. Just finally getting around to registering it, making sure its safe for the road, ect... Actually it needed very little as it is was a one owner 4,300 mile jewel with the original tires (mostly highway riden as evidenced by the wear) Now just starting the process of some personalization and some "home brew" modifications.

Yeah it is in near, new condition. The place/guy I bought it from is on a lake so I asume it was more of an errand runner type of bike to the store and back. There is no real trails to speak of around there so it has very little trail milage on it. It is 100% untouched stock, and that is its biggest problem the jetting is so anemic from the factory. After studying it for a while I see some potential with an airbox modification and modification to the stock exhaust's non-removable tip might help the thing breath. It is one of those deals where you can just feel there is more potential in the engine but because of emissions and DOT regs its all choked up.
