| Gday, Im looking at getting a 1986 LS 650, It felt comfortable and full of style and it'll be my first bike which i'll clean up and polish until i'm finished my open licence rider training course at Toprider. Does anyone know how reliable these bikes are? any helpfull tips on any problems they might have would be appreciated.
Thanks Steve |

| Hi Steve i would imagine that if you can buy one of these bikes and its still going after 22years its gunna be reliable. Any problems you might have will depend on how much use its had and if it has been well maintained. Good luck and hope to see you on the road soon _________________

13000ks is not very many for a bike that old, so that sounds OK. So how long till you get your licence? _________________
