Best of the breed? (I certainly think so).
The bike appears to be in very good condition. It was taken care of, always garaged, but has a bunch of deferred maintenance to be done. It has a late 1998 build-date on the VIN sticker and 20,000 miles on the odometer, which means it's an 18 year-old motorcycle.
Brakes have never been refurbished and the original brake lines still on it, valve clearances have never been checked/adjusted, front forks have the original oil in them, spark plugs have never been changed, the thermostat is original to the bike, steering tube bearings have never been checked/lubed, and the list goes on...
