    Engines a little dirty/greasy and the frams chipping. That thing wouldnt be hard at all to make mint. I would buy it if it was around 1200. Everything else looks pretty nice, even the origional exhaust.

    It might be worth it just because it is in Australia where there are not as many as there are in the US. If it was in the US it would not be worth that much. It is not all that nice or special it is just that the seller hosed it off with armorall to make is shine. I bet you would slide off that thing the first time you took it out.
