[QUOTE="Earlofcrankcase, post: 1452162, member: 98626"] I'm the 3rd. It's done some extensive sitting obviously and by the looks of it some of that was outside. The kill switch has been sun faded in the off position. It wasn't love at 1st sight but the gauges didn't have the tell tale redline fade to pink either. And now after the short week I've owned it I can honestly say nothing about this bike is pink! It did have an odd stumble in the idle, and later in that test drive doing a u turn in a blvd that ended up being a blind takeoff. I had to punch it, and it stalled out so bad I thought I was going to kill it? But then it finally jumped back to life, and boy did it. In seeing that low end grunt, the comfort of this thing, and knowing I was a better home for it. I went for it. Now with less than a 100 miles of driving over several days the idle funk that seemed more computer related than anything is almost gone entirely. By the end of today it will have a full tank of known for certain fresh gas and it's 8 year old inspection sticker should be long gone. [/QUOTE]
