I have described this bike as best I can and will post any helpful updates to the listing during the auction. The bike is in used condition with no warranty. The bike runs and changes through the gears. I have injured my right ankle and have not started it or ridden it in about 5 or 6 months. It'll probably need carbs cleaned.I have no history on the engine internals or service history. When I ran it and rode it, it had that great Bonny sound and went through the gears fine. I wouldn't call it roadworthy due to the brakes needing adjustment. The bike is not a show bike yet but has the potential.Back brake needs adjustment. Yes, the bike runs and changes through the gears. I have injured my right ankle and have not started it or ridden it in about 5 or 6 months. It'll probably need carbs cleaned.Back brake needs adjustment. I have not started the bike for about 5 months. I have injured my right ankle and can't start my kick starters. It ran when I bought it in May last year and I have ridden it since. The rear brake needs work, front is fine, I would not call it road worthy without some tweaking. No known engine problems.

Thanks From what I can tell, the finned clamps a the exhaust headers are not original, the pipes are pretty new but not OEM or NOS. they are a knockoff but look correct.Throttle grip doesn't look correct but most other stuff looks original. Does the rear brake need adjusting or is the master cylinder froze? I can't say the MC is frozen or locked but when you step on the brake, not too much happens and you are then only using the front.
