These are generally pretty good models, in my honest opinion.


Other than normal things that wear with age and depending on how it was treated, 2 biggest issues were timing chains/tensioners, and front drum in trans breaks. There are other minor issues, but nothing that would really put you off from buying it.


How many km's are on it, and do you have any service history available as this helps to indicate how it was maintained.
