Cosmetic condition
Condition is fantastic, well-cared for garage kept bike witha senior (and meticulous) owner.

Hard to finedany noteworthy flaws,did find one tiny chip on the right side of tank (shown in pic)

Miles are on-road touring miles. Paint is glossy. Seldom ridden in the rain (no road grime).

Lower nose of fairing painted in stone guard to limit chipping.

Never downand never even tipped over.

Flawless seat, ot amark on rims.
