This bike has lived a life, but for a bike that is now 27 years old, it has hardly covered any miles, at just 8346 miles, the bike has probably spent most of its life parked in a garage, as you would expect, this bike isn't pristine, but, this bike is in very good order, a proper V-Twin and can be ridden on the A2 license as well, this bike is really comfortable, the rider and pillion seat are a lovely thick cushion foam, these bikes just run and run, many options are still available if you hunt on places like eBay like handlebar options, exhausts etc. This bike is on its original exhaust, just 1 former keeper, the handbook still has its wiring diagram located in the back of the booklet, a cheap and reliable bike.
