This R69S has been completely restored approximately 20 years ago and has been ridden sparingly since. The cosmetic condition of this machine is just as good as it looks in the photos. Every finish on the machine was restored to its original finishes. The running condition of the machine is flawless, starting immediately.
PLEASE DO NOT ASK ME IF THE BIKE IS STILL AVAILABLE. IF THE AD IS UP, IT IS STILL AVAILABLE.
This bike has been part of my collection for a while and is ridden on a regular basis. It runs and rides with absolutely no issues.
Everything on this motorcycle was restored to the original specifications, including the exhaust system, which was usually removed by the first or second owner and replaced with expansion chambers. The seats are also the original type seats and are in beautiful condition.
As you can also see from the photos in the photo section, the condition is exactly what it looks like in the photos. I looked at a quite a few of these bikes before I finally bought this one, and I’ve never seen a better original one before or since.
The paint on the tank, side covers, etc. was restored, and have never had any type of paintwork or touchup since. The bike has never been in any type of accident or been dropped at any time.
The R69S runs and rides the way you expect a machine with this type of mileage to run. All of the mechanical components have been checked over to ensure they work properly including the clutch and brakes. The fuel system was completely gone through this season and functions perfectly, and there is a new battery installed. The tires currently installed have comparatively few miles on them, and have plenty of service life left. There is absolutely nothing you will have to do to this motorcycle to ride and enjoy it this season.
If you'd like any additional photos of any particular part of the motorcycle, please let me know. I’m happy to email or text it to you. And if you would like to inspect the bike or ask any questions, please email or contact me by phone or text at 630-430-3855 anytime.
