Usualy it's Darryl who says "Tell him he's dreamin' "

Imported from the States, by looks of number plate.
Title cert. issued in 1999 and milage recorded then ????? bit sus

The chrome on the speedo looks new and the rest of the chrome looks old. Maybe the speedo spent a long time in the drawer?? If you know what I mean.
$1200 start bid would have me bidding.

I really don't think it's a bad thing at all (if TS90's are your poison) the very much unobtanium RT kit parts are worth probably $1000 alone 'IF' they were available that is :'( maybe worth more than a grand but definately no less ;) the front guard pisses me as they are expensive buggers to replace ($200ish) but they are still available. I think it's a fair price considering what it is (or appears to be).
The reason the speedo ring isn't rusted is because the early models had nickel plating on this item and not chrome ;)

I guess you have to be a Honcho hound to see the beauty and value in the little bike but like Doc said, the hop up kit parts are almost impossible to find and when you do be prepared to pay $500 for a NOS or clean used pipe and a similar price for the barrel and head. I've been searching the world for a genuine hop up kit pipe but have only found a rusted and flattened piece of shit that the bloke wanted $100 for. I've settled on a Torque Engineering up pipe and an unknown manufacture aftermarket downpipe for the two Honchos for the moment but I'm still not satisfied. If I wasn't so engulfed in projects right now I'd be going for this little bike despite the dodgy front guard and questions as to why anybody would got to the trouble to import a TS90.

NO SEAT is not very subtle Chris ;D ;D

ah yes forget about that minor item CG :D I do have the seat thanks to TMWilliam but the black on the tank hasn't really gone off enough to risk fitting it and rubbing against..maybe in about a week or so ;) actually the whole deal is going on the back burner for a month or so as I found a small issue that requires splitting the cases ::)
