Seller will prepare bike for shipping (drain fluids, remove battery, etc.) This bike is ready to ride home from the Atlanta Ga area even if you live in California!!-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Question: How long have you had the bike and is that the original paint. Answer: I've had the bike about years and have done TON of work on it to get it where it is now. am Mechanical Engineer and Master Motorcycle Tech so insist that my equipment runs correctly. The engine is extremely tight. The XXX kit upgrade added significant horsepower probably helped by the into exhaust and pod air cleaners. It took me month to get it jetted correctly and it runs fantastically except that it has little deceleration backfire. That will go away if you reinstall the stock airbox which will include but you'll have to go back to the original jetting. The paint is not original and in my opinion is in need of an update.
If you are going to restore this bike you'll need to do lot of cosmetic work, reinstall the air shocks (also included) after rebuilding them, and locate stock into exhaust. The powder coating on the levers and luggage rack are not stock Honda so if you're going to show the bike, they would have to be replaced or refinished as would the stainless brakelines.
If you going to cafe' the bike, you've got great motor and all the basic parts. You can probably sell the stock parts to buy cafe' items and do well there.
If you're looking for daily rider, this bike will go for years with routine maintenance.
I've done dozen 'medium distance' trips (XXXX miles roundtrip) with this bike with no breakdowns I've never been towed home!
