39 year old bike but still runs strong. New tires and good battery. New ignition switch. Nice seat cover. All lights work. Air suspension front and back. Resealed front forks. Changed the stock instrument package to the small faring package. Actual odometer reading is about 5K above what the current odometer reads. After market handlebars which required custom length throttle and clutch cables, I believe they are much more comfortable and provide better handling. Brakes work fine for the vintage of the bike. This is a good daily commuter. It is very maneuverable and has plenty of power for its size if you want to get going quick. It requires a little attention now a then keeping the carbs tuned. I went through them and made some improvements but it is an old bike. I replaced the rusted out stock exhaust with the an after market extractor which is a little noisier but it seems to like it. If you do any further modifications to this bike keep in mind that the tuning of these small motors are affected by any changes. I would not recommend this bike for someone not interested in learning how to maintain it. Buyer is responsible for arrangement to pick up or ship motorcycle.
