Located in San Francisco.  Must have MC license and cash to test ride.  I think I have priced it so that its a steal for someone who can sort out the carbs. Selling because my wife has moved on to another bike (BMW F650) and I don't have the time or passion to work on it any any longer. Its rideable in its current condition, starts right up and has no problem getting up to 90. I just feel it can be better.
