But, I am sorry to say, I'm done with the Paso. I'll be selling my '87 as soon as I round-up all my paperwork, manuals and such.

I wanted to give you guys a heads-up in case anyone here has thoughts of picking up another. She's about 90%, only needs a little work to get to 100%; ie fork seals, a little touch-up paint hear & there. And tires.....Oh those fk'n tires.....

I've been trying to ride as often as possible, but those old Michelin A & M59's don't have much life left in them. I didn't want to wear them completely out before I got a set of GT's. I'm tired of being careful, tired of checking every day for availability of those damn tires and tired of trying to justify $800 for a single set when they finally get here.

I turn down ride after ride cause I know I'll out run of tire and I don't want to wreck her. My only choice, if I want to ride, is to let her go and get something I can ride anywhere all year long. My loyalties have shifted North from Italy to Austria, my colors from Red to Orange: KTM.

I'll post a bunch of pictures, you can request detail shots. I'll list all the mods/upgrades (just a few & all from this forum) a little later, if I can find time between all the riding I'm getting in these days. Even when it's raining

Good luck, scimmione. Put some new tyres on her, so you can get a good price.

Then if you can't get a good price, at least you can keep riding her.

Simmione with so many guys riding alternative tires I wonder how not getting a set of GTs can be a reason for selling the bike. If you want the simplest solution get a set of Avons with a 150/80 rear and you`re back on the street. That rear will cost $150-180.

Good luck on the sale, please let us know the price your asking so we can consider acquiring her.
