Spokes were pristine, choke worked well. One thing though, the starter made a strange sound before engaging. Also the handlebar was a bit off, but I think that's easy to fix. No idea about the battery, but it turned the engine around easily.
Mechanically the engine and gearbox seems to be in very good condition. No ticking or rattling, shifts smooth as butter and even throttle response.
It looks pretty darn good cosmetically too. One or two small scrapes, no rust. And some fairly new TKC-80's on the rims.
Not exactly an Africa Twin though (mine was stolen two weeks ago). But I think I might like this bike very much
And yes, the bulbs were halogen!
