A GREAT LITTLE HONDA DUAL-PURPOSE MOTORCYCLE.GOOD OVERALL CONDITION,NEWER REAR TIRE.THE FRONT TIRE WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED SOON,IT'S STARTING TO CRACK.THERE IS NO VISIBLE RUST IN THE GAS TANK,BUT THERE IS SOME LIGHT RUST ON THE WHEELS,SPOKES AND OTHER CHROME PIECES.THE FENDERS ARE STRAIGHT AND NOT BROKEN,ALL THE SIGNALS ARE PRESENT AND WORKING.THERE IS ONE SMALL CREASE ON THE TANK,HARDLY NOTICEABLE REALLY.THE SPEEDOMETER HAS 1356 MILES SHOWING,BUT THE SPEEDO CABLE CAME OUT ON THE TRAIL LAST TIME OUT,SO IT'S NOT ENTIRELY ACCURATE.THE EXHAUST IS IN GREAT SHAPE,WITH NO DENTS OR RUST ( I RECENTLY REMOVED IT TO FRESHEN UP THE PAINT ).THERE ARE TWO SMALL TEARS IN THE SEAT COVER,ONE ON THE TOP/SIDE AREA AND ONE AT THE BOTTOM EDGE TOWARD THE REAR.THIS BIKE SHOULD BE AN EASY RESTORATION,OR SUPER TRANSPORTATION FOR THE DAILY TRIP TO AND FROM WORK.

Thank you for understanding.
