nope, not really, sorda, I mean, it was ok'ish when I bought it
but I spent a lot of time polishing the rust and other crap off
and replaced a few broken parts from the left side and the
tank still has a small dent from some sort of fall or minor
accident (you can't see it in these pics) but overall it's in
pretty decent shape for a 14 y/o motorcycle, but that picture
is the cleanest you'll EVER see that bike again, nevermore.
With regular maintenance and frequent oil changes I hope
the engine and electronics will not give any trouble for maybe
another 20K miles, we'll see; also I don't frequently wash my
bikes, I have found out, the hard way, that this does more
damage than any good at all to most motorcycles, I just
once in a while brush off the mud, grease and winter street
salt; you should see it today, it looks like a dusty ol' dakkar
racer
