Description from the seller, in Finnish.

Meillä ajo-opetuskäytössä ollut pikku jättiläinen vailla uutta omistajaa. Tällä kipolla ei kulut päätä huimaa, halvat käyttökustannukset, verot ja vakuutukset. Katsastettu 6.7 puhtaalla lapulla. Ennen katsastusta laitettu vasemmalle eteen ja taakse uudet pyöränlaakerit, vasen etu vetonivel ja vasen käsijarrun vaijeri. Kesärenkaat aluvanteilla, näissä todella hyvät renkaat, talvirenkaat uusittu viime syksynä. Nokkaremmi laitettu 11/25 242tkm, eli senkin puolesta ajelee vielä pitkään. Miinuksina pyöränkulmat olisi hyvä säätää, ratti hieman kierossa. Vasenta kylkeä joku maalannut hieman eri värillä. Täyden rahan kaupalla jätän keulalle kuvissa näkyvän tehokkaan lisävalon, Xvisiom genesis 800 curved.
