I think he's going for something that looks like the new Junior (i.e. Junior with his new old stock fairing).

I have been tempted myself to attempt to aquire one of those, or alternately a vfr or rvf 400. I really like the JDM 400 sports bikes.

Yes, because what I really need right before I move interstate is another motor vehicle to find a way to transport

1988 you say? That is looking like a real well kept bike. How did you find this gem?

Funny thing is ..Its complianced as a 1988 and is registered as a 1988 BUT is is in fact a 1986 as it has the square headlight and is red and white.
The 1988 version has the 2 round headlights and does not come in this colour and the person I bought it off sold it to me as a 1986 model.

Anyway back to the question asked. I bought it off Facebook. There is a page for local sales and thats where I got it. :thumb: Yes it is in very clean condition.

Thanks.
It is an import from Japan so it is not from here either so I got lucky.
