Or maybe not so interesting.  I guess the pics will only stay until the ad is withdrawn...

A 2011 with 1300 miles, a number of mods.  "Some dings on gas tank and left side cover by fall over kick stand on parking lot."  Owner admits to not knowing its history.

I'm intrigued by the missing fork boots, moreso the winged-badge tank:





And, just for fun, I like the headlight stickers that come on the new bikes:

That badge looks like those heavy brass things that are on eBay.  Neat idea, but, they are not curved correctly, so, the tank has to distort to fit into the stiff brass badge.

Looks like the turn signals were changed and the seat was reupholstered.  That little emblem on the headlight is standard on all the bikes, but is usually just removed during prep.
