OK, lots of pics available. Basically the best way to say it is that the motorcycle is probably a 15 footer! From 15-20 feet away it is gorgeous. When you get closer you can start to see the "mank" that shows the bike's age. Things like a few spider cracks in gelcoat from fatigue, a scratch here or there, and the scrape marks on the side ducts and mirrors from 2 drops on one side and one on the other. This is a big, heavy bike, and I am short, about 5'6" with a 30" inseam if I stretch. And I am taller than my brother (the other owner). So, it fell over a few times at zero mph.
If you are looking for a showroom condition low mileage "queen", then this is not your bike. If you want a bike that was, at least during its day, well used and ridden as GOD intended, but also mechanically maintained very well, but now needs to cosmetics and minor mechanical TLC to be excellent, then this is a wonderful candidate.
The bike does have the characteristic 907 low-load stumble, which clears up completely when load is added. I have not yet tried the cigarette filter trick to fix it, as I have lived with it for 35k miles... The return spring for the centerstand handle thingy is broken, so it does not self-retract and it comes out under hard acceleration.
Anyway, links to pictures below. I can also email slightly lower res versions upon request.
The bike has frentubo brake lines, air horns, modified air box (chopped top), gel battery (new in May), self ventilated clutch cover (looks professional!) and a Ferracci chip. The toolkit is there and complete (the bag is starting to fall apart). I also have the original fender extension, and I think I have the original brake lamp and possibly the turn signals, but will have to dig a bit for those. I have the factory 906 paso manual with the 907 supplement, a clutch holding tool and a set of staintune mufflers that sound wonderful, but are quite scraped up (previous owner OF THE STAINTUNES, NOT THIS BIKE crashed, got new ones, and gave me the old ones, and I ran them on the bike for most of its life since they sounded wonderful, even with low pose value). Not sure if I have the original owners manual and the stock chip available or not. I am sure it is around, but whether I can dig it out, I am not sure. If you want a stock chip, find someone to send me one and I can probably copy it for you.
Make offer, as it seems asking prices for these things are all over the map...
