It's been stood a while, so a few checks and service items to be done but all in all better than I originally thought.

Needs the upper fairing repaired / replaced but they seem to be thin on the ground!

Thanks for looking.

20 year old motorcycles that have been crashed/dropped numerous times
and the nosecone being the first item to sustain damage may go some way as to explain why unmarked fairing parts are not easily obtained.

The fact that the cocktail colours were not produced for an extended period
just about nails the lid shut.

That's a nice bike you have there.....snap up the plastics when and if they become available.

Nice tidy looking bike. I like the cocktail colour scheme.
Bit of advice. Buy a good bed and a good pair of shoes, because if you aren't in one you'll be in the other.

Cheers for the comments, it's cleaned up nicely and seems to have been serviced on a regular basis even though it's done minimum miles in the last 10yrs.
Just in the process of cleaning the rust from the tank with a bit of electrickery!
So hopefully be up and running shortly?

I always liked the Foxeye Ru version. Someone I know (not a friend) had a black one but it wasn't as good to ride as my Exup-R :unibrow:
