Going from a VStar 650 to a RSV is a HUGE upgrade. The RSV I purchased has 25.4k miles on it and seems to run very strong. Rode it 86 miles home and had an opportunity to test all of the electronics, including the cruise control and everything seems to be working fine. The guy I purchased it from had removed ALL badging and I would like to at least put the tank badges back on, but have searched eBay and used google and have not been able to locate. I guess I may have to go to a local Yamaha dealer. Bike has a few very minor scuffs, nothing major and one small dime size ding in the tank that I didn't notice in the pictures prior to purchasing, but I can live with it. Overall, after 103 miles, I love the bike and hoping to get many years of service. I am 57 years old, put about 12k miles a year on a bike and if my arthritis keeps going at its pace on my joints, this may be my last bike to purchase.

I have a 1/2 helmet that came with leather zip off flaps that covered the ears, which I took off 3 or so years ago. Guess I need to try to find them since I now have a bike with CB. Picked up my '99 RSV last night. So far I like it a lot.

Saw those on eBay a couple days ago and started to purchase, but wanted to try to find a set that attached to helmet and not my head. Picking up a '99 RSV today, maybe the guy I am purchasing it from has a set.
