Methinks a soothing hot bath, a glass or two of a charming little Chilean pinot grigio and a big hand full of chill pills might be just what this excitable boy needs.  ::) It's an RM400T not a Manx bloody Norton. ;D

It's amazing what a great description can do (not that this one is great). There was a very secondhand and wornout washing machine on Trade-me a few years ago with a description worthy of a movie script. The said washing machine sold for about $5700.00. :o

I thought Meguire levers were Irish.  ???

What's with the stupid front number plate. Easily available from Suzuki...

Looks OK, but I reckon you might just be in for a few surprises on closer inspection.

It's a deathtrap. Imagine the first landing after the first jump when the front brake backing plate gives way and the unsecured brake cable gets wrapped up in the front wheel!
