Though not on the street it has been run frequently and maintained. It runs great. Checked out by a bike machanic last year. Has a trunk and a faring. I was told the fairing is original. Its one of the first shaft drive bikes. This is a 36 year old bike so there are a couple of things. Small oil leak a drip forms every couple of days at the left crank cover where the stater is. A couple of small scrapes. One on the bottom of the right pipe tip and a scrape on the right fender. Both are not noticeable. Tank paint is original shines up well no nicks or dents but shows a bit of its age. Very little interior take rust. You are incouraged to come take a look before you bid. We can arrange a time.
