Looks very clean. Anybody have information on the touring package - is such a thing factory, or does it appear repurposed from another bike?

Yes Yamaha had factory tour pkgs...this does look like thats is the case...very nice setup...not a fan of Gold paint though...

Good to know, thanks!

I am planning on taking a look at it this weekend - would like a bike with touring hardware to ride to work. I think I can deal with the gold paint. But I am curious as to whether someone actually painted the mirrors/upper exhaust, or whether that's a trick caused by lighting.

No,

The mirrors and upper exhaust are not painted ...

It's just the way the artificial light happens to be shining on those areas that makes them look that way.

Nice-looking bike, though!

this is my bike . has all factory touring package. not a fan of gold paint either have owned for 14 yrs.

the exhaust now has jardine spagetti on it.

Jardine spaghetti? well that just sweetens the deal...funny how we allow something as subjective as color influence our likes or dislikes...after a while one realizes that color has little to do with anything and the bikes all function just the same...This is a real nice example of a touring bike and its an excellent deal...it should sell quickly...I like the extra farkles also...cool bike..

Glad to hear that it's a forum bike! Had a feeling it might be, given how nice it looks.

Should sell quickly at that price.
