The bike is not perfect, and it has various blemishes. The seat has a small tear in it. It can be reupholstered for about $75, but I have ridden it that way for years. The mufflers show scrapes where the bike was apparently laid down. I have not laid it down since I have owned it. The horns are not OEM, they are aftermarket. Front tire is good, rear tire has about 500mis left on it. The bike is not rust-free, but the small amount of rust is superficial
