Well we got home with it tonight and couldn't be happier with it. Sitting in the garage with the lights on, it looks brand new, except the tires. The front is weather checked on the side walls and the rear is just plain bald. One small dent on the lower left side of the tank, that was disclosed by PO, but has to be looked for to be seen. You were right, it doesn't have an owners manual, but those are easy enough to get. Fit and finish are good, all covers are there, locks work. Runs pretty decent, but it doesn't sound anything like my KLR 650, but then again it's not supposed to. Only down side that was pointed out by the PO was that the owner before him drilled out the end of the tail pipe and the PO (that I got it from) didn't like the loud pipe so he had someone weld up the holes, to restore the original sound of the pipe. And that's okay by me, as I'll probably get an after market pipe and upgrade jets eventually. All in all it was a pretty good buying experience. I still paid more than book value for a '96, but on the other hand it has less than 8K on the odometer, and it looks like it, too. The seller was upfront as I could hope for. My wife really likes this bike as the tank tappers in more as it nears the seat. Awhile back I had her sit on a new one (S-40) at the dealers, and she said at that time she didn't like the tank being so squared off in the back. Said it made her hold her legs in an uncomfortable position. Thanks for the replies and happy motoring, Slug
