It was pretty hard on the old body . Before I did not want to mod it to much ,because it had resale value . Now I'd likely ,Dump the clip-ons . add normal bars , find softer springs . It was sprung like a rock . also if worse came to worse . I would transplant that engine to the viva. but not at this listed price or anywhere near this price . Some of there facts are a bit off

And on some of the older bikes the owner wants a nada excellent cond price but it hasn't been started in 15 years and needs both tires battery, infact every rubber item on the bike, gas tank, carbs, and by the time you had it running right you would have double what it would be worth. Some of them are real idiots.

That's quite yucky. I need a drink.

If you got it cheap enough, it might be a good parts source.

Yes, but clearly, some people's taste is all in their mouth.

That said, the workmanship seems solid, and it proves that there seems to be no limit to what you can do with a CX.
