My partner bought me this bike for Christmas as my first project and it is the first bike I've owned. It cost $300 cash - gotta love mates! The only important part that needs replacing is one busted front disk and the obvious brake pads and chain. Other than that it's just cosmetic: fuel cap, seat cover, windscreen, etc. The fairings are a bit scratched but the way I see it is I'm going to fall off at least once so I'll save the expensive new fairing kit for when I'm a bit less likely to break it.
