I like old "fixer" bikes.
My T350 Suzuki was one. The pipes were a combination of bluing, rust, scrapes and dents. The tank was dented and paint faded and oxidized. Chrome front fender was rust pitted. The seat had a huge crack in the middle of the passenger section and I "repaired" it with 2 1/2" white medical tape.
It looked friggin' bad.
BUT...........
The little fucker had some internal engine mojo going on! I routinely ate 500 cc bikes for lunch and kept up with quite a few 750's!
So with that in mind....it ain't what it looks like that matters.
