I ended up picking it up back in early May, thoroughly cleaned her up, then degreased and tuned up. Installed some spare 1piece Polini carbon fiber reeds while I was at it, and larger Triton style intake manifold, and cut a Unifilter foam air filter since the stocker was literally falling apart in my hands.
Been running it around for past month and getting a solid 60-65mpg WOT most of the time, cruising 40-47mph
And since I NEVER disappoint with no pics, Enjoy fellas
Nice scoot man
I had a 95 in the same color when I was 19, I wish I would've held on to it
i found a 98 for sale in this area for 800 bucks, but I just picked up a 96 elite so I can't afford it right now.

Hah, yeah the color is a love hate thing and some people are like, purple * is that? But I don't mind at all, 60-65mpg @ 45-50mph yeah I'm riding regardless of color..

So paint it...
Prep it really good, use sooth bright pads, then paint it with bumper paint.
Bumper paint does not have a gloss to it, so it will look like it should. And as long as you prep right, It wont come off just from your feet rubbing across it.

1991--------Tomos Targa-
And a Bunch of other bikes.
Thanks for the photochop, but again I personally dont mind the color at all, and could care less what other haters think
What did I do? I rode it..
Jog's are very fast stock, only actual mods now are the CF reeds and intake manifold but those are minor. Gained about +3mph with the bigger rear tire, but only with help of a hill, otherwise still 45mph cruise.
Just installed new S1 tire upfront too, got it as a deal from the shop. pics of that soon maybee

The color was red like on my computer, Im not sure what color everyone else sees.

Looks red over here. Think you could maybe photochop it like a dark gray, almost gunmetal color? That would be sweet yo
