 :woohoo:

It's a white 1990 with 32,000 miles. Everything seems to be in good working order. It was the seller's commuter bike, and based on the condition of the other vehicles in his shop, he took good care of it.

I'm really excited! I like this forum a lot, now I'll be able to participate.

Yeah, my jaw hit the floor when I saw the craigslist pics. I have a thing for the color white.

Ride it like a 2 stroke:

2: Add oil
3: Repeat

 Are those wheels as clean as they look? Jealous.

It's amazing how much a good owner does to a bike. My 1990 looks like shaZam! compared to this.

Took it for some real test rides last night. I like it a lot.

I might take it to a dealer to get it looked over. I don't think the PO ever checked or adjusted the valve clearances.

They look a little better in the picture than in person, but they are in amazing shape for being 23 years old.
