Some may think it a little pricy but that's a nice looking bike and you can't purchase anything like it for that kind on money.

Nice find!

Looks super clean, not sure if the paint is factory though, never seen one all red.

The '99s were either all red or all black. That may actually be a 99 model.

I purchased my bike on eBay. Used Buy It Now + $700 for freight.

If the seller is local, and you can pick up, +1. You can even contact seller to view bike in person. If seller is selling thru eBay, you know seller has 10-15% elbow s

10-15% elbow space on price since seller is giving it to eBay as final value fee...bike look mint!

When you find one that clean!!! Super low miles, give or take few hundred and you'll still ok...

I saw one just like that on my way to Brisbane a few weeks ago. We'd pulled up for a feed and it was parked over the road. I couldn't take my eyes off it . It could well have been the same one since they aren't all that common on the roads here...

I don't think the price is too high for the condition and low kms. Anyway, if it's worth it to you mate, go for it!!

I stand corrected, first one I've ever seen. If you want it, I'd go for it, they're becoming scarce.

Look at the vin tag, before August it will be the model year on the tag. After August it will be the next years model.

07/98=1998 model year

09/98=1999 model year
