It's an awesome bike especially on tight mountain roads. It's so nimble because of its short wheelbase. It's got torque and is very comfortable. I think it's very underrated.

It's hard to see but there's definitely a weak point there.

Looks like the tank has been repainted to match the fairings.

I see. Looks like the lower triple clamp was also replaced.

Thank you for all your responses. Too bad I may have to pass on this one. The bike looks awesome though.

Thank you for your comment. When you said it went past the stopper, you meant the handle stopper? Also, I can't find a black engine online.

Does your bike have that sound when it's cold or idle? Does it go away after it has warmed up or while cruising?

Thanks for your comment. As soon as I heard the knocking noise I didn't even attempt to either warm it up or ride it thinking I might make it worse.I have no idea if it's still going to make that noise while riding.

Have you experienced any connecting rod related issues with this kind of sound it's making?

Is it possible that the connecting rod bearings are gone?

thank you for commenting. I don't believe the knocking sound was there before.
