So, if you are looking at buying this bike you probably plan on turning it into a cafe racer. That'll mean stripping it all down to the bare bones. So what I plan to tell you will not have much effect on your decision to buy the bike. First, I'm no mechanic and don't know anything about motorcycles except how to ride. Its in good condition. Everything is original (except the tires). 10908 original miles. I bought it 3 years ago and then it wasn't running. It had been sitting in the 2nd owner's garage and needed carb work. So, I had the carbs worked on. There is a small dent on the gas tank and the left rear turn signal needs to be soldered back together. The bike cranks up, but when you let the throttle go the engine will eventually turn off. Brakes may need to be replaced. I never had a problem with them, but my friend (a little heavier than I am) said they may need to be replaced soon. He also said not all the cylinders are working. There is a little rust damage to the pipes. A sissy bar, also called a "sister bar" or "passenger backrest" is included. This bike has had a total of 3 owners, including me. The last owner said he bought it from a guy, drove it home and parked it. I bought it with 7000 miles on it. I'd keep it but this is my first bike and I honestly do not know enough about them to maintain an old bike. It needs more love then I know how to provide. I'VE TRIED TO TAKE PICS THAT SHOW OFF THE QUALITY OF THE BIKE, AS WELL AS THE AREAS OF CONCERNS.
