The original price was 750 but because I found a chip on one side of the bike that hardly could be found they sold it to me for 650. The price for sale is 5oo now. it's good as new! clean and shiny. I used it to have some quality me time around the Waikato River and to go to work. The reason I am selling it is because I am leaving the country soon. Once you texted, I can send you a clear close-up video as well.
