you are right.

most of the NSR in HK has great paint job. I am going back there next year to pick up a few bikes. Very cheap price but require a lot of attention.

To be honest, to get and maintain a reg 2 strokes bike in the US is very tough. I do not think the bike is suitable for a daily use anyway because you have to carry 2T oil with you if you are riding with your friends with 4 strokes bike for a 100 miles+ ride. You will be thinking about a rebulid everyyear if you ride you bike everyday.

Gary, may be you can consider a 07 cbr600rr or a 07 R1. They both look very nice.
