I personally imported it about 5-6 years ago. Never touched it as it sat in my garage.  She got completely submerged in Hurricane Ian Sept 2022, totally underwater. It now has a Salvage Rebuildable title from FL. I took it apart a bit to clean, flush and spray with tons of wd40, etc. I flushed it out and put new oil in it. It spins freely. The bike was a bit rough from day one but a nice complete bike and if you know imports from Japan you know they can be a bit rough sometimes and oxidized. The bike barely looks any different than it did before the Hurricane.

I like it too and I've seen it listed on EBAY as well. However boy it ain't cheap with the buy it now option and obviously it doesn't run. Is it worth it?
