    Consider parts availability. What are the damages ??

    It's huge weight makes it a very poor choice for slow, city riding.

    My understanding is that the oil supply and soft rocker arms (not cams, BTW) were still an issue with the FII as well. Since we did not get that model in the US, I can't say that from personal experience, just what I've heard. Take that for what it's worth!

    Something else is suspicious: why did he advertise it as a damaged bike when he only needed to replace a blinker and windscreen ??
