"Fully restored"?  :umm:

someone has scarlet fever
At least he was thorough enough to paint the kickstand red too. :rolleyes: He missed the stand relocation bracket though
That looks just wrong with the headlight bucket, fork ears, triple tree, kickstand, chain guard, rear fender, and tail light bracket all painted red! :clownshoes:

$20 chinese garbage shocks tells you he took cheap shortcuts on everything else.
Have to agree, the red all over everything does not look good at all.

Agreed, I wouldn't pay even $5k for it.

I'm kinda new to the R5, RD crowd.
But the 75+ and especially the Daytona don't get me excited..
So you ain't alone.

You ain't the only one who doesn't like them. I never saw the appeal. Stock they are anemic at best. I am not a 400 fan in general. The 350s are much more fun to ride in my opinion.

Nope, I don't care for them either.  The styling just doesn't look good to me.

Should have looked like the Seca 650 that came out a couple of years later, was very similar but Seca was way better.

I love Daytonas, maybe somewhat of a sentimental thing from college days but the one listed above is too modded for me as well.
