Figured I would introduce this bike with a better intro and talk a bit about it.

I picked up this girl for $1100 CAD with only 22,000km on the odometer. The guy I bought it from said that he mostly maintained it and rode it. After a few days of riding this little bikes move along pretty good and will easily hit the redline if you try... don't ask how I know!

Now a few things which I have been discovered...
1) Ignition was busted not letting power to the blue wire not allowing tail lights to work
2) Front wheel is 19" (is this stock?) and its also a different rim
3) Right food peg missing rubber
4) Brake pedal is not correct
5) PO over torqued oil cover cracking in 3 places; replacement on order.

Now I originally bought the bike to possible create a small bobber but will most likely clean and fix and re-sell next year for something bigger.

Front wheel is 19 inch stock but should be swirled like the rear...
Looks pretty rough for what you paid...

Rough? Considering what rough sells for out here this bike is in in good shape lol

Yep its funny how some places things are dirt cheap and others well.................

I couldn't find a 400 running for under 1500 or more........so I bought a couple basket cases :D
