Looks ok for a little 125 cruiser to knock about on. |
The pictures make it look far better than it is. It's nasty. Rust everywhere. Seat is toast. Indicators are held on with insulating tape, paint is toast, as are any graphics. Mismatched pegs, left peg rubber held on with jubilee clips.
And it's a cruiser... Not my cup of tea.
But, it was very, very cheap. |
Sounds like my kind of bike! Except the cruiser part... ____________________ Riding: Does an Audi estate count?

Various different types of rat. Track rats, neglect rats etc.
Anything intentional is scene.
My Bandit is a track rat, there is no attempt to maintain cosmetic condition and it's built to be as cheap and effective as possible.
There are dents in the wastegate cap as it holds so much spring load in the cap to make boost that it can only be removed by using 2 welding clamps that cut into the aluminium.
The fairings have been hacked about to take clip-ons which simply don't fit on a standard Bandit. There are gouges and semi-cuts on the fairing from where I was making marks to cut the plastics to fit them.
The underside is covered in rubber and drag prep glue from numerous deceased tyres and straightline events, to the point the rear lights can barely be seen.
The exhaust is squared off on the bottom from scratching at the weekends, the air filter on the turbo is equally squared off.
The exhaust side is covered in soot and oil from the over rich exhaust and 'that'll do' catch can.
The entirely necessary underbrace of the swingarm is dented from hitting rocks and speed bumps that get in the way on the commute to work... In the pouring rain.
The bike in OP is a scene bike. Nothing looks like that unless it is MADE to look like that. Same as VW scene kids deliberately ruining the paint of a perfectly good motor to make it rusty.
My SV650 is a rat. Front end was fucked so got a FZ1000s front end I had lying around. Bodywork no longer had mounts so was binned. Motor smokes like a train over 5k as the rings are shot, ignored. Subframe was bent so cut it off. Numberplate is the rear mudguard/loom protecter. Tank looks like the surface of the moon...
