Hello everyone! I am a huge fan of motor enthusiast threads dedicated to specific vehicles, and am so glad I came across this one when I found this bike for sale and decided to buy it today.

I bought this bike for $1000 CDN, and thought it was a pretty good deal. it is a little more rough around the edges than in the pics, but with a little elbow grease, won't be hard to get it looking like this again (with exception to a very small dent in the gas tank, unnoticeable until you are 5 feet from the bike). I'll possibly have it even more shiny :p

Let me know what you think, you won't hurt my feelings or offend me by giving your honest opinion of the bike.

I am new to motorcycling, and felt that this would be a perfect starter bike, and suits my personality well, is relatively clean, and had very good maintenance.
Thanks for having me, and can't wait to use this website!

Just so you know, the paint job is carbon fibre pattern / color.
