[QUOTE="Patman, post: 604833, member: 16962"] A perfectly fine bike! If the bike was maintained it will be tough to find any other bike of that vintage that has aged as well. It will have typical HRC (i.e. Honda) build quality and the evolution from the '98 to the current model isn't light years as it is with other brands, just refinement of a great bike, parts should be much easier to get for this reason as well. Be sure the skid plate isn't mangled to bad and that the rubber buffer is in place between the plate and bottom of the cases as there is no frame tube to cradle the engine. The bottom of the head pipe is a pretty typical place for a crease or dent, as long as it's not massive it's not really an issue. Plastic & graphics are a little more expensive that you would think. Verify that the foot pegs are level or a little high on the outter points, pointing down can be fixed but can be a little dangerous if you don't notice it. There are two throttle tubes for the Domino assembly a white and a black, the white is called the "fast" throttle having less range and may be a little odd to get used to if you don't have good control skills, I may have a black tube in my tool box if you need it. Be sure the cooling fan is operational as the radiator is small so that cooking the engine isn't an issue. The stock clutch in my 2000 is a slipper style so it may feel strange that it doesn't seem to totally disengage, I'm not certian that the '98's did or din't have this type. Don't worry about not liking it, I have not met a single person that didn't enjoy these little bikes once they tried them. :thumb: Good luck in the search and an early welcome to the dark (& slow) side! :) [/QUOTE]
