I bought this bike last Spring, only 1500 KM but showing rust in many places. I had it fully serviced and drove, mostly on highway, for 1500 K when blew a piston trying to race a rain storm. I have completely disembled the bike, sand blasted all the parts and they are now being powder coated. It is a really good bike and deserves to look better than junk. I will drive it to Labrador this summer and will have pictures for anyone who is interested.
