Listed as "mint" I thought I had pulled a blinder. I got it yesterday and immediatly started to play as you do. It really is in good nick, I am guessing someone has had it in bits before, a few issues, the indicators are not working, its missing a kick start rubber..neither are anything major. The big thing is the clutch, I forgot how quick these are of the mark, its like having launch control, so the clutch drags then kicks in great fun but might be dangerous. Lots of good technical bits on here so I am sure I will be fine. The log book says this used to be blue?? All in all I am chuffed to bits with her.
I have taken a few photos..like the proud father. Bike is yet to be named!!
