    This look like something wrong here?

    Does it look like the rear shock is shot? (and front tyre flat?)

    Yeah certainly looks strange and interesting why there are no front on shots.

    The tank colour scheme looks wrong as I'm trying to recall original.

    That's a different model/year ...

    This should be what it looks like.

    Non original paint job with the Honda sticker on the tank on the angle makes an optical illusion ...

    He has mixed colours and graphics with other years of same model so its a bit of a mix and match and the worst for me is the angle of the honda badge on the tank. Honda on fairing was sometimes level and some models angled down like his.

    Why oh why would you not stick to original on a classic. Idiot!!

    At that price and Km's ... a repaint is a simple option.

    Certainly looks a bit off and is asking more than others have for such a state.

    They're a nice model of bike though. I'd be keen to pick one up for a go when I have the money and garage space. It's not an icon in any real sense but given that you could get a minter for >$5k it'd be a nice bike to have if you like V4s.

    The tank lines don't do it for me, but not seeing any issues with the tyre or shock, just the camera angle I reckon.

    No idea what you're talking about - no questions have been posted on the gentleman's auction?
