I *am* that original owner from new. Yes, fun factor 11, light, sticks like glue, awesome handler, great torque. Draws stares, waves, thumbs up, whoops and hollers wherever i go.
Ok, kdogg, here's a more close up pic, though from a few years ago. As I posted, never been in a shop, 25K miles....always self serviced. A fantastic streetbike. Absolutely a keeper, its willed to my younger brother in Florida (an EX500 owner) when....well, when.
Visually stock, but got some tasty mods for reliability and performance sake. A Mosfet regulator/rectifier (from a ZX10), an LED voltage indicator, special valve keepers, Barnett clutch (dry), Michelin Pilots, Factory Pro carb innards.....blah blah blah. I've refined it over 20 years of ownership.
