It doesn't give the mileage or the displacement. It's either a 700 or 750. Also, it doesn't have the stock exhaust. A collector would be...
My 1000R is stock. The 2nd Gen I was referring to was my '86 750.

I've run a semi-synthetic in my '86 750 for years and have had no issues at all. I also run the semi-synthetic in my '86 500 and 1000 and again,...
