Surely that's not the original seat? I await the You Tube video ;D.

That is the original seat Firko! I know the seller......he probably would burn it if enough people asked sh4t questions!

That'd be a shame, it's a cute little bugger.

I had exactly the same bike (same colour and all) and rode it as a commuter for years from Morningside to Bris city.  Would cost $5 or $6 to fill and it would run on that for a couple of months.  Reliable as most Honda's are and the best thing was it's size.  Both for lan splitting the traffic jams and for parking under the building where I worked, right in from of the Director General.  It was small and he didn't mind it being there so it was a winner.

If that was closer I'd buy it in a second.  In fact Canam if you know the seller and can hold it for me, tell him I'll take it.

Before I annoy him when can you collect and pay? I might be able to help.

I can pay right away but can't collect as I'm in Qld and would have to make arrangements through the OZVMX freight system.

I had a blue one that had 300km on it when I bought it (2001). Very pretty little bike. This has to be worth $350. Buy it Simo.
Cheers, Grahame

I think it's just too far away ... probably not something that I should get involved with.

It would do good wheelies with a passanger on board  ;) with that long seat over hanging the back wheel ;D
