unusual colours, has it been resprayed at anypoint or is that original?
just interested, wrong side of the pond to buy it....

[darcym]

Might help to put a location where you and bike are, Sasha.

Toneski - that's not an original paint scheme (the '93 was purplish), so yeah it's been repainted.

Not sure what that means! (regarding above)

Yes, the bike was apparently resprayed Toneski. I guess it had to do with the small scuff on the left gearbox side (not on my watch!). Whoever painted it, did a great job. I think it looks rather sharp -- kinda mean lookin', matches the sound out of the Kerkers.

I put about 2500 miles since i've had it. It has never given me a problem, and quite to the contrary, has given me a lot of pleasure. This bike doesn't even have the "flat spot" in the powerband i hear a lot about. Smooth, reliable, fun. I know I'll own one again someday...

The bike is in Hollywood, CA. Guess I shoul've mentioned that! I had been living it Minnesota for the past year so only got to ride it when I come home. I'm moving again out of state and would take it with me were it not for moving expenses AND school loans to pay back. When I came home this last time, I forgot to turn the fuel switch to ON (don't laugh) and ran my battery down trying to start it. Instead of getting down on my knees to pray I decided a carb cleaning was in order as it had been sitting for 6 months. Of course it didn't need it at all though, perfectly shiny inside. I noticed it has the Factory Pro emulsion tubes, nice and round. On a whim I moved the circlip and spacer on the needle down (based on things i've read from this forum) a notch. Charged the battery, realized my amatuer idiot mistake, and was off running after making sure charging voltage was up to spec. Before if there was only the slightest of flat spots, there are now NONE. Smooth from 1st through 5th. Besides that and an oil change that's the most "fixing" it has "needed".

So, who's next? Sucks to give it up especially now that it's all dialed, but that's the way it's gotta be. Come check it out. Or just fly in and buy it - take your time going back. whatever...

Praying it would start was a reference to "religiously maintained".
