Looks nice, and price is good, but it's got the wrong color seat and the seller says "will pull a wheelie just by gently rolling the throttle in second gear..." Sorry but, no it won't.

maybe the seller only weighs 100 lbs..maybe he's a jockey? then it'd probably pick it up..

Not by "gently rolling the throttle in second gear" it wouldn't. He'd have to be more like a 25 pound highly trained monkey. I weighed 125 lbs when I got my first back in 91 and it wouldn't do it like that. Granted, it was a 750, but it was also a 6 speed and this is a 5. Not sure why people feel the need to exaggerate claims like that on a nice bike like that one that should more or less sell itself anyway at that price. Maybe he really believes himself?

I use to have to bounce my 1100 in 3 rd gear no clutch and it would come up.
