I have no idea i’ve never really looked into buying one before. I found a couple I’m interested in. I dont really think it will ever be modded if I do get one. I’m looking at 95+ GSX’s. ---

Proper maintainence records or it’ll be a money pit. They don’t break by doing smart things they break by doing stupid things. Thing is many people don’t realize they are doing stupid shit to their DSM. ---

Yea, crankwalk is fairly overrated, but it’s always something to check for. ---
