The one with the bags and that color too. Mine has 2 up seating with the top box further back. Not near as pretty looking as the one in the pic though. 31 years takes a toll on a bike's appearance. Not that I care a lot. Once it is mechanically safe and a decent rider I will be satisfied.
Any unmodified bike over 25 years old can be insured as a "Collector" here. The difference in rates between this bike and a Vstrom 650 for one year should nearly pay for all the needed work. Financially it is a sound theory but who knows how it will end. I did not test ride the bike and have no idea how well it will fit me while riding. Life is a bit of a gamble and a bit of suspense is sometimes needed.
