you should keep your eye out for one that has the 1200 conversion. I've seen a lot of them around and the conversion does not affect the price, so for the same amount of money you can be getting a 1200.

That's a pretty bland looking bike with relatively high mileage, I'd look for something a couple years older with more power (1200 or 1250 kit) and a bit of pizzazz.

I disagree

Way better off with a stock motor that hasn't been touched that way you know what you have

No offense to decent engine builders but you never know

That looks much better IMHO, at least it will when you take that crash bar off and let the kids use it as a basketball hoop!
