Hey Guys...
I have some friends who are HRC mechanics. One who was Ito Shinnichi`s mechanic when he was riding for Rothmans here in Japan. These guys said it should be fine and it "may" need an overhaul. If so, Mr Ona (Itos Mechanic) will do it. Yes, will replace all rubber items and anything else it needs.
Yes, its true... if I keep it untouched it will rise in value over years. However, I am not buying it as a "financial investment" but a "mental investment". I could invest that money in other things and get a much bigger return if I thought of financial investment, but I get your point m8.
It will be a very very very well kept and taken care of NSR I guarantee that. Only ridden on Sunday in the dry. Keep Km`s low. Keep out of the elements. Always washed and waxed. It will always be a museum piece. I have no intentions on selling it. Ever.
anyhow, have to sell the idea to the wife first
