As you can see, totally standard (I think...). next job is to personalise it a bit, starting with getting all the awful safety and alarm stickers off it!

Chris Very Happy

Very nice. Hope it gives you as much fun and adventure that we have all had on ours.... Enjoy.!

It looks like a US import - it'll be worth knowing that for when it comes time to get parts. In particular if it's a Californian one (unlikely). The model code is on a sticker under the seat.

Nice clean, unmolested one though - good find.

Now you're starting to worry me... there's a sticker under the seat which says "5AH5-010". Should I be concerned?

Google tells me that's a non-Californian 1999 model. Non-Cal is good - it should be basically the same as any other Cat.

Cheers Weasley - my quick Googling said the same and it's nice to have it confirmed by someone else. I feel much more relaxed about it now!

That's a great looking bike Chris, you've done well. Is it going to get ridden over winter?

Guest Thu Oct 01 2009, 23:15

Probably - there's a car on the drive for when I really can't be bothered to ride in really terrible weather, but the bike ten times as fun and shaves 30 mins off my commute so there's a good incentive to leave the car at home!
