It's had a pretty "tough love" life - but they're cheap learner bikes so they never got much love...
Only 28Km on the clock...

i had to ride one once. i was astounded it could be as slow as it was.
Slower than an FZ250??
Hmmm.........upside down forks, single rear shock, clip ons, modern brakes....everything everyone wants for a cafe........do I sense a cafe project?
No. This one is a re-sell. Neither me or my buddy have any interest in small cc road bikes.
It's just going to be a matter of how much tinkering I'll be doing to it before it moves on.
I've just discovered from Googling these things that the front MC is not stock - it's got a remote res but the stock one had a unit res. That explains why the res is mounted off the top clamp obscuring the instruments.....
OK - I've been at home with the flu for the last 10 days or so. Nasty one.
Anyway, did a few things to the shitter....
New(ish) muffler
Recovered the seat
And after a wash I discovered that it has yellow overspray ALL OVER IT.
Seriously - the dude must have parked it in a spray booth whilst he was re-spraying a backhoe....
Also took it for a ride - bloody hell....supremely gutless things. But everything works (more or less) except the rear calliper is binding a bit, so it needs a clean / flush / some love.
Just do a layer of clear over the overspray and charge extra for the custom paint.
