I've talked to two of my close friends who both ride and they said to be careful, but that I am smart enough to handle it. I've talked to my dad about having the 1000cc and he is ok with it.
Now here's something else I caught... "newer paint"... Meaning, 'at some point crashed'... Combine that with the engine work and the high miles... Talk to the guy and feel him out for info (ie. why new paint, etc), but my gut feeling is keep looking...

This is more of the ad I'd be responding to... low miles and the guy seems forthright...

Might be worth a look...

Maybe outside your price range, but you could recoup some of the cost by selling the included gear...

I've always liked these Gix's, but the miles are high...

Come over to the v-twin side... rebuilt forks prolly mean whoolies, new switches could mean neglect or electrical issues (run!)... TLS' are notorious for frame cracks around where the rotory shock mounts... It's got great tires!

Stay in the family...

Again, there's something to be said with someone who's upfront with the description... Plus it's HOT...
