Most of the the Pre-F.I. problems were worked out by the 2009 model.  Doesn't turn as crisp as Suzuki or Honda, but then they are not as stable as a Yamaha.  ;)

Viva la carburation!

They were the last of that particular series and was considered the best. Stout engine, great twin chamber forks. If its been looked after go for it.
