Ha Calum, you really wouldn't be saying that if you saw it first hand. It's the scruffiest most broken bike you could possibly think of. Literally nothing on the bike works 100%.
Rear shock is pretty much just the spring working so bounces like mad. Front forks have basically no seals. The frame is 1980's with slightly newer 1990's swingarm and engine butchered into it, no place to secure the head to the frame as frame is back in the day when it the head wasn't ever secured on this bike. Exhaust is held on with cable ties and rear silencer is from like a 2000 bike, leaks spooge like F*CK! Radiator fluid leaks so needs topping up after every ride. Kill switch doesn't work so have to stall it to stop. I took off original from mudguard and number board and replaced them with some from a 2011 KXF 250. Rear wheel feels like there is no bearing. No rear side or radiator plastics. Possibly the worst point of all, when I bought it a couple years ago as a non runner, there were two MASSIVE scores down the barreI and I didn't want to spend money getting the cylinder replated / bored as it was already such a messed up bike, so my mechanic told me it would still run (just about) as long as i filed the scores down nicely. I stuck a piston in and somehow it still works to this day! This bike is the definition of a field bike. It runs and rides but is so Frankensteined and broken it wouldn't be worth restoring. At the end of the day, it's still a laugh to ride though!
